because I understand
I'm a scar on your broken body,
but you're still beautiful
as time passes
The wounds become a sickness,
your doors become walls
the mirror hurts
I'll reach my hand out to you
When all the world is closed
The suffering that was reflected like stars become your city of fragmented glass
Your breath ends before my heart
I want to see them pour out
Wound, Scar, Tears
wandering through death
without reason
still dreaming
measuring the hope that falls away
your mirage
Maybe you'll wake up to consciousness crawling on the floor
letting go of the tears you've hidden away

I enjoy the flirtation with allegory,(doors become walls). Fine use of the language.

Beautiful...
