I open my eyes
As i try to see
The things you once
Presumed me to be

Beauty
was the word you said
But to me the meaning is dead

I try to pick up the shards of glass
I see my reflection and
happiness pass

'Ugly'
I say and look away
As a shard pierces my skin
And along with pain i forget him

A relief
I can breathe

I pick up the piece and cut away
All the memories we have made

The scarlet runs clear staining my skin

'You're fault'
Is what I'd say to him

The demon that resides deeply inside
A demon that feeds
On my hopes and needs

Taking them away
Never to stay
Happiness has gone for long
As the marks go on
and on

My body goes numb
As i fall to the ground

'Beauty?'
I asked
As my fear unwound

'Never.'
I smile alas
As rain drops stain my skin

'Alas my demons they will win'

I close my eyes
And i smile
Holding the shard that caused my doom

I look at myself one last time and say
'The real demon is you'
