For as long as I could remember
I despised the way she looked
Her eyes pierced through me
And I knew she saw it all
Thus I avoided them

Those brown eyes
Seemed to stare into my soul
Something told me she knew
Something told me she felt

Her gaze seemed to judge me
Her flaws I had come to hate
Yet I couldn't get rid of her
She always reciprocated my actions
I wished to get rid of her

Yet looking at her
I couldn't bring myself
To smash the glass

At that tear filled face
I wished to hold her
I wished to tell her,
It was never her fault

Somehow I knew it wasn't
Yet all I felt was the burning pain
She seemed to feel in her chest
Because then again
She was only a reflection
Of all I embodied
