Description She stares at him with solemn eyes
And hollow face to match his compromise
His cheeks grow red as her tears flow
To the places that no one will know

She smiles at the reflection in the mirror
Of razor blade cuts down her arms
Says “Life isn’t worth living like this
This kind where I don’t live at all”

She falls into denial
Opens, the moment
Waits for sunrise
and as one last tear falls from her eyes
She smiles in the starlight

He follows gaze
With detached face
Wonders how she got here without him
In this game she said they’d never win

He marks the lines across her arms
With fingers full of rage and calm
Why did she leave
So quietly

He falls into denial
Opens, the moment
Waits for sunrise
And as one last tear falls from his eyes
He sees her reflection, in the starlight

To mirrors, lives, and broken hearts
To beginnings, endings, and life without cause
To watching the panic set before the storm

To lovers, to dreamers, to nights spent apart
To watching two people meet with broken hearts
To feeling the most out of what you’ll never have
To erasing the pain of what’s made you sad

To seeing the places you want before you die
To living life without asking why
To dreaming the most, and taking it all in
To fading away, to where we begin

We fall into denial
Open, these moments
Wait for the sunrise
And as one last tear falls from our eyes
We smile in the starlight

We’re all only reflections of who we want to be
Open your eyes, take it in, and see

There's a really sad and resigned feeling coming off this, which is due to the fact that you put the right emotions into the wording.
Great job

I love this! Especially where it breaks into the
"To lovers, to dreamers, to nights spent apart
To watching two people meet with broken hearts"

Beautiful.. seriously. I'm jealous in good ways that you can come up with the wording that you use sometimes, this is an example of that.
