You live in the mirror image of my world.
You're on your own because you could never fit in mine.
I can see myself still slipping through the cracks I created.
I see myself in the way you hold your head high.
I can hear myself when your confidence ties into your words.
I can feel how my sensitivity has tainted your mind,
So worries constantly waste up your time.
I watch you hurt,
Just like how you watched me struggle on my own.
You've tried to rid yourself of me,
But now you're seeing that I am permanent.
You were broken apart,
But now you're no longer pleased at how I put you back together.
Your attempts at reshaping are useless.
The further away you push my affects
The tighter they cling on.
When you look in the mirror,
You see me and how I was the glue that held you together.
You try to paint over me,
Only making it more noticeable.
You're desperately trying,
But only showing that I created your weakness.
You'll carry me on your back forever.
You'll breathe out the words I planted in your brain.
You'll dream off the pain.
Distance will wear out my name,
But you won't be able to take anything back that I gave you.
It's far too late for any of that.
