With the cracks you found in our burnt down house. You flipped the reflection to hide your smears. And painted the picture you thought was clear.

You were tiresome.

With your shouts, your anger, and stubborn pride. With the twists and turns, oh my dear, our fear had won. Who's right and who's wrong, it
