My Broken Mirror

I remember the first time we locked eyes when my world was falling apart

The first time I felt close to someone

The first time that I was in the moment 

The first time I was real 

The first time I felt pure joy

I relied on you for so much 

Cause I had nothing to gain

I felt like an outcast 

But with you...with you I felt normal,

Was it all a dream I thought

Was this really happening?

Was this everything I ever dreamed of?

No...it was all a lie

Every good thing must come to an end, they said,

And it did

All a fantasy

Nothing could be this perfect

Not even a moment

That was the first and sadly the last,

Cause no matter how hard I try I would never be accepted

Even if it was you

All of the dreams and hopes I have held all my life 

To hope, even dream

That someday

Someone 

Could feel what I felt 

It was only ever you I would imagine

When I was sad,

When I was lonely,

When I felt like there was no one else to turn to

It was always you

But who were you?

Why did I meet you?

Why did you give me hope?

Because it was my reflection in the mirror

My broken mirror...

Because it was only I I could ever trust

It was only my true self that made me happy

It was only me that could truly understand me 

Only...

Me
