The Devil's Mirror

Through shattered glass your reflection trickles
Down past candy cigarettes and
Accidental cherry blossoms.
The ocean smells fill the air
Above my blood-stained body,
While you distort yours
Underneath me.
Seagulls scream like demons
And saltwater dries my expression.

I can see your chains
But I don’t need to follow them
To know where they come from.

And I can hear those demons screeching,
Between my fingers you’re slipping,
I can’t promise music
But I’ll sing.
