When Mirrors Fall

_{"Like broken mirrors..."}


The mirrors of her eyes fall softly closed,
For mirrors cannot reflect in the dark.
Who needs to see what they've already seen,
When they've already seen all ever meant to see?

The mirrors of her eyes fall softly closed,
For mirrors need not reflect when they're alone.
They hide what they must, and bury what they can,
For these eyes stand guard the gates of her soul.

But, oh, how those eyes wished they weren't alone,
Staring thoughtfully at the artificial cracked sky.
The mirrors, the gates, they all fall closed.
For it is all that she hopes, all that she prays,
That closed is what they will stay.
