Mirror

I call out to you
Every time we fight
You can't hear me though
You're too busy screaming
At me

I write you a message
Within my cuts
But you don't bother checking
My legs, my wrists. You're busy
Watching my medicine bottle

I sing a song to you
Hidden beneath my music
But you're critiquing it, so
You don't feel the pain
Within my lyrics

You try to reach out to me
To touch my hair and say
"I love you"
But I'm too busy hiding my face
To pay attention

You say my name
Trying to make me open up
But I'm busy running away
From you, so I don't hear
You

You hurt, I cry,
But we're too busy arguing
To notice that the person
We spend our time fighting
Is just a mirror
