Wasted Trees and Words Unspoken

broken mirrors, in the end

i think that this is the end.
and in it, we were broken.
shattered into large,
but very-much still,
broken pieces.

we mirrored each other's words,
each other's actions, even lives.
and this made it even more impossible to find ourselves again.

we tried so hard to. i know we did.

but it was hard,
because for the first time
in a long time,
we were left with ourselves to rely on and not each other.

you were my frame.
you held me in place
and kept me together when i was falling, falling, falling.
you broke the fall and saved me.

and i was your bubble wrap.
fun to play with, breakable,
but not easily broken
because of the will in me
to protect you.

we both had strengths...weaknesses...

you were sometimes too sharp in your words.
and i was sometimes too soft for it.
sometimes we damaged each other.

but in the end,
even through the protection.
even through the bond.
even through the love.

we both ended up broken.
