Love Poem: Mirrors

Mirrors

Why do I appear shattered
Why am I broken
Why am I viewing myself 
In a thousand pieces 

It ripped through the veins
Poured from the body
Draining me of purity
Bruising my integrity
Stealing my dignity

I've become numb to love
From another
Obsession so deep
I can't stand too suffer
To look into this mirror
And see I have become u

Identity shifts
Breaking rifts 
Of floating ships
That could sink 
Hitting ice tips
Watching my lips
Silence 
Before you fall

How do I see myself
Watch you 
Love him 
The same way 
You watched me 
Give him
Something 
I wasn't given by you
And now he hangs with his friend
Then he becomes him
N you become me

How damaging
To see you hurt
But to move with your heart
Yet love with your eye
The man I've become
To see all the things 
I've overcome 
Where I flipped "m" 
To become we
Numb
To your love

You see we
Took time 
To build up my happy
No need to wreck it
My home has been built 
With self love
And perseverance

Then u become us 
Where we
Have become the community
Searching for something to lust
Because one of us
Didn't seem to fond of you
I didn't want you
To leave
We didn't want you to seem
Lost with us in between you and me
But the connection was lost 
When we became three

Stare! 
At yourself! 
This is the damage you caused
Look at the disappointment 
Resting on your face
Glare!
At the hatred 
You created
When you dated 
Us then faded 
From us 
To you
Flare!
Up in anger
What you have done
To wager 
Our heart
For ur hanger
Hanging me up
To play a player
Who played you
For me
And now us 
have become we
And you have become 
community property

Look in that mirror
Broken to see
Yourself glaring back at me
