I was a broken mirror my friend; I just didn’t comprehend.

I know you wanted to fix me, but here is the reality.

You tried to put my pieces together and I cut you forever.

I’m sorry I hurt you my precious friend; I’m sorry it came to such a terrible end.

Been trying to give you some space, but I don’t know when is the right time to admit my hideous crime.

Out of all the people in the world, I never imaged disappointing you or bringing you down. Never thought I would be the reason for your frown.

Thinking you hate me is not something I could accept because I swear to the Lord it feels like such a debt.

Just the thought is more than I can bare because I know what we have is so rare.

Don’t give up on me; don’t let me go. Just try to stay and take it slow.

I know my awful mistake and believe me it’s causing me the worst heartache.

For less than a month, you haven’t been around and ever since that day I feel like I have drowned.

I’m not apologizing or begging here because it’s not what I need. I’m only trying to make up for my wrong deed.

My Twin, forgive me. I don’t know what else to say, but please come back to me. It’s getting harder and harder each and every day.
