astray

when you look in the mirror, who is it you see?
did you write your own lyric, or did you steal it from me?

words trapped between the softness of your skin
they stand in stark contrast to your actions again

your storm blew in quickly wrecking my plan
replacing it quickly after taking my hand

why is it you who decides my fate?
walking the line between love and hate

you took all that you could from me
locked me away, kept the only key

rotting away alongside the ruins
my body left broken and bruised

what washed up on shore was all that was left
the shell of a woman who failed at life’s tests
