How many times will I break this glass
Only to glue the pieces back together
The sand leaks between the pieces I can't find
And the gaps in the upturned ceiling

I said that it was infinite
That eternity would be our resting place
That the mirror would reflect ourselves
Back at each other we claw and yell

An unfamiliar hell that hurts the yearning
Heart of glass blown way to large
The walls thinner than they should be
Cooled and heated shattering into shards

I won't fight for you to stay
In arms of semi-permeation
I won't ask you to stay
In my arms another day

If you need to leave do so
That you will no longer hurt
