Pale Light

by Jessica - Leo

Pale light
outside my window
 everything softly shines
Moonlight casts shadows
 and shines upon the water

   Black water
Cold water, a river of cold tears
   black tears from running mascara
agian she cries, alone she cries

And I see her in the window
the reflection now falls on
the broken glass, red blood at the tips
edges like the razors that tear at her heart
   and now those edges
      tear at her wrists
         and release her
from the moonlight shining in her tears

Reason for writing:

    upon seeing my reflection in a similar moment
