My hair alights with fear as
every inch of my body prickles and pokes
Static, buzzing freely through my blood
Reflections melt, as the mirror glass holds true
Revealing my damage done
Collapsing eyelids
Hide the scarred pupils underneath
Nose crooked, upturned
burning with each breath
Tired mouth, gasping again
lips cracked and dried
with teeth worn and weathered
The storm of your words
The heat of your actions
The loss of our love
No longer shall my house stand against you
Prepared in some way
We turn the fires inward
As we pack up and leave.
Mirror now multiplying
Our exit
