Across The Sink
Pain in your eyes
A perfect match to mine
The silence speaking volumes
Your lips move
But no sound comes out
I stand shocked
As tears roll down my face
Sorry cannot fix this
I love you isn’t enough
When your heart lays on the ground in front of you
Crushed, and dark red blood stains the sidewalk
I should feel pain…
Right?
Anger… Something
This numbness surely isn’t right
Then again, neither am I
Unless I have you by my side
The love of my life
But you're gone
I feel no emotion
Wait, shouldn’t that scare me?
I stare at the girl across from me
She looks so broken, empty
There is no life in her eyes
Her skin has paled and she’s beyond skin and bones
Blinking the same time as I
Slowly she mirrors my actions
Reaching up with her left hand
And as it meets with the glass
Shock crosses her face, with confusion and pain
Then. Realization
A mirror
As I see that the girl across the sink
Is me
