It so happened
For a minute
That our eyes crossed in the mirror
When she smiled I contemplated
All of it
Like I do every time
And when she sobbed I turned away from her
She's a liar and I'm terrified
She's irrational
And she's a battle cry
There's a room
With orange walls
I'd have them light blue if only I could
If only she could
Make a bigger effort
If only she could have some self control
And stand more tall
If she'd only ever put herself
In anything at all
