A/N: So, here’s the second version

Distorted (Rewrite)

I see my reflection in the mirror

I see the bruises

I see my hair matted with blood

I see my eye swollen shut

I see the pain on my face

I sigh

I see you enter behind me

I see you raise your hand

I see my reflection shatter

I see you turn and leave

I stand

I turn back to the mirror

I see the new bruise

I see me lie to myself

As I try to convince my reflection

That you didn’t mean it

I see myself try to cover it up

I see my reflection look disgusted

It doesn’t want to be a part of me

I see the image shatter, and I’m left

Gazing at my broken self

I see something I didn’t want to see
