Shattered Mirrors

Shadows stretch across the street towers loom broken

Floorboards creak under weight of words unspoken

Echoes crash but the rooms stand deaf no redemption

Every corner whispers sharp outlines of tension

Smoke stains ceilings dreams curl up in the ash

Neon hum breaks the night splitting silence into a clash

Eyes wide searching skies for stars they let crash

Bloodshot horizons scream we lost the map

Aching cries break the static loose

Spinning wheels grind the truth

Rivers rage and flood the rift

Shattered mirrors can’t return the gift

Fingers trace lines on faces cracked

Truth bends backward it’s all intact

Rain bites skin like bitter repentance

Dreams flee fast from the heavy sentence

Clock hands twitch spirals banished

Breathing becomes a currency vanished

Tides recede leaving sand raw bare

No direction every heartbeat a snare

Aching cries break the static loose

Spinning wheels grind the truth

Rivers rage and flood the rift

Shattered mirrors can’t return the gift
