Mirror wars

I don’t recall unlocking the door

But something darker wanted more

She wears my face, but not my grace

She moved right in, and took my place

She rose when no one heard my cry

Wore my pain like warpaint dry

I whispered soft, she roared with fire

I hid the pain, she built empires

And I became the pain I tried to shield

My smile a mask, my truth concealed

This isn’t me, but here I stand

Losing grip of who I am

Mirror wars, no peace, no truce

She breaks apart what I can’t excuse

I scream from deep behind these eyes

She wears my guilt as her disguise

Mirror wars no lines, no rules

I feel like two, I’m split in two

One side harms while one regrets

She makes the noise I feel the debt

She said the things I dared not say

She turned the skies from blue to grey

She fought for me but left a scar

Now I don't know who we are

People used to stay, now fade to grey

Afraid of what I’ll do or say

She cries for eyes, but won’t be seen

She gave me strength, but took my light

And now I walk with guilt at night

I see myself from the outside now

Frozen, watching, asking how

She made the world finally see me clear

But not the way I hoped they’d hear

Mirror wars, fire and grace

One wears the mask, one hides her face

We tear through truths, we blur the lines

I lose myself in both designs

Mirror wars, calm and storm

A shapeshifted soul, reborn, deformed

I’m both the sinner and the saint

And now I question who I ain’t

I want to heal, I want to be seen

To feel something real, to finally scream

If we’re the same, if she is me

Then maybe I’ll set both of us free
