a game of mirrors


i'm not the one to be crossed;

over; double.

your fear is to never be forgiven, then why?

you make it seem like a game and i'm player two,

but now i'm sharing the controller.

i'm not the only one am i?

but better yet trust is like a mirror.

if it breaks you can fix it

but you can still see the cracks in the reflections.

well the mirror has fallen and i'm just here shattered on the ground.

but forgive and forget , right?

well i wont,,

 cause i quit the game and took a moment to look in the mirror.

just like you should cause theres no man in the mirror,

just you.
