The Broken Glass

Say goodbye as i disintegrate,
Gazing at the world with defeated eyes,
I crumble away but my reflection remains,
Behind the cracked glass with unheard cries.

The shadows' mockery echoed through my soul,
They watched as my fingers bled when reaching for the light,
They knew the truth but said nothing,
As the salvation i longed for turned into fires of white.

With trembling hands i let go of the edge,
Falling back into the abyss with hope's incarnate,
The familiar numbness wrapped itself around me,
While i watched her suffocate and finally greet death.

My kingdom, my people, they welcome me home,
The freezing embrace of darkness the first to appear,
Holding me tight like an abandoned lover,
Telling me not to leave and that i have nothing more to fear.

Turned away and forgotten by the world outside the mirror,
I dance to this intoxicating rhapsody as I seal the way out,
Vowing never again to leave the only place i belonged,
Destroying the mirror without anymore doubts.

'Never forget that you are alone'
Alice whispered into my ear,
'Do not make them prove it to you again..
Don't let them see a single tear.'

With hands as cold as a corpse,
I entwine my fingers with hers,
Walking into the realm where she was queen,
Insanity, a blessing and a curse.

Say goodbye as i disintegrate,
Gazing at the world with defeated eyes,
I crumble away but my reflection remains,
Behind the cracked glass with unheard cries.
