Mirror breakup

I don’t love you, never really did,

You’re like that sweater I outgrew as a kid.

Take your cat, your plants, your drama too,

I’ll sleep better not hearing from you.

I don’t want to hurt you, that’s not my aim,

We’ve changed so much, it’s not the same.

You’re still amazing, don’t doubt your worth,

I just don’t fit in your universe.

⸻

Two voices in the glass, one cruel, one kind,

The devil’s got jokes, the angel’s got time.

Do I drop a bomb or walk away slow?

Either way, girl, you’re gonna know.

⸻

Don’t text me at midnight, don’t write me a song,

If Netflix calls, I’ll say, “I fast-forwarded all along.”

You talk too much, your dog hates me too,

Congrats, you’re single—yeah, dreams come true.

I’ll remember the laughter, the late-night talks,

The silly dances on midnight walks.

I hope the next one treats you right,

I’m just stepping out of your light.

⸻

Two voices in the glass, one cruel, one kind,

One slams the door, one eases the mind.

Do I scorch the earth or let you down slow?

Either way, girl, you’re gonna know.

⸻

Your cooking’s a crime, your playlists are bad,

Even your dog looks a little bit sad.

You post too much, those selfies are cursed,

Dating you’s fine—if you love the worst.

But I’ll never regret the time we shared,

You gave me love, you showed you cared.

The memories stay, though we drift apart,

I’m breaking your hand, not breaking your heart.

⸻

Mean: “Block her number, smash the frame.”

Nice: “Keep her memory, don’t cause pain.”

Mean: “Rip the Band-Aid, make it sting.”

Nice: “Let her heal, and bless her wings.”

Mean: “Tell her she bored me right out of my skull.”

Nice: “Tell her she mattered, her love was full.”

⸻

Two voices in the glass, tearing me apart,

One swings an axe, one guards her heart.

The mirror laughs, it’s clear as day—

Which side of me will have the last say?

⸻

Two voices in the glass, comedy and pain,

One rips apart, one still explains.

The mirror smirks, it knows my game—

Kind or cruel, it ends the same.

Kind or cruel… it ends the same.

Kind or cruel… (fading away)

…it ends the same.
