Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

Eyes like shattered light bulbs
Blinking broken glass ends
Pupils crackling with the shards
Are blinded souls still friends?
A house full of shattered mirrors
We're haunted by our own silhouette
With sunken hearts and beating skulls
That fade into skeletons of regret
I stabbed you red, you shot me dead
Wound to the heart, wound to the head
Is there any chance we can share the bandages?
