The Day My Reflection Died
Her eyes drip with blue like God kissed her mother's too.
Her beauty that she shared hidden by the complexion's shared.
Only hidden behind the bangs from a parties simple, 'I dare.'
No more party favors, no more sunlight left to share.
She was just a dupe, so tired of stares...
Your twin is here she walks the stair,
Peak performance from fake circles, haha 'I care.'
They know what it feels like, I doubt that, like medium rare.
I'm so sick and tired of this fake cologne you wear.
I'm just being stingy, my existence sucks up so much air.
She died yesterday, I died last year.
The day I died, is the day I cried. You don't care, 'Yeah...fair.'
You got me there! But guess what... I don't have her hair.
That was his doing. The only good thing I share.
