Rose-cut Diamond claws

My confusion drew me to you,Your warm smile and glowing eyesMade for cold consolation. Led in by my own insecuritiesI found but a mirror reflectionOf what I already knew. To gaze in would further entrance meTo break it would shatter my whole.Though I try to turn away, I am already lost within. My one recourse is to dismantle youShard by shard, grain by grainUnder sheens of glass, I cast my reflection to your gaze. I must be careful not to let myself bleedNo trace must be left behind.Slowly I cut away with rose-cut diamond claws Shredding off fearsShedding of tearsIn a pool of reflective glass. I begin to wonder what lies beyond my illusionNo light pales itself through the cracks I’ve chiselledThe work is so intricate and delicate I dare not pause to peek Anticipation overcomes meI focus harder on my taskCarving out specks of memoriesEmbellished along the sides I must be careful not to let myself bleedNo trace must be left behindSlowly I cut away with rose-cut diamond claws Scraping off vainScrapping of painWith a disquieting screech. Now I stand calm my task completeI look beyond where I had placed youAnd to my bewildermentI see nothing but a stone-mortared wall
