Mirror Mirror
Standing before me
Show me my dreams and hopes of yesterday.

Mirror mirror
Standing before me
Please show me the way we used to be.
Please show me the pictures of us long before they were tear stained.

Mirror Mirror
Standing before me
Show me why I cry.

Mirror mirror
Reflecting truth back to me
Why do you show me nothing but broken promises?
Why is there only images of me crying in the darkness?

Mirror Mirror
Reflecting truth back to me
Show me my future.

Mirror mirror
Reflecting truth back at me
Why do I only see tears and lonliness before me?
What happened to the love I once had
And that promised to stay with me forever?

Mirror Mirror
Broken pieces on the floor
Reflecting pain and tears once more.

Mirror mirror
Shattered pieces with jagged edges
Reflecting blood back at me from your inflicted pain.
Live out you life in the trash now
You always told me lies anyway.

*blood from inflicted pain.. basically stepping on the glass and cutting yourself. Or being foolish enough to take wrong step into a place where you knew you'd be hurt from the beginning.

I like the structure of this, and like Cherish, I also really liked the ending.  

Not bad at all.
