Destroyed
I look in the mirror
 And don’t like what I see.
 Who is that girl?
 Can that be me?
 
 I look a bit closer,
 I see through her eyes.
 I can tell you exactly,
 
 Exactly why she cries.
 
 I look slightly downward.
 I stop at her nose.
 It tries not to look awkward,
 As it strikes a crooked pose.
 
 Then just a bit lower,
 He mouth does not speak.
 She is trying to pretend
 That it’s because she’s meek.
 
 She now looks scared
 Her hands are now in view
 Shaking vigorously
 Could this really be true?
 
 A hammer flies.
 A reflection smashes.
 And now she looks
 For a book of matches.
 
 A flame ignites
 Everything Polaroid
 And now every memory
 Is destroyed
