Girl in the Mirror
There was a girl who stood before the mirror
she looked desperately but did not recognize the other
eyes watched as if from another realm
a spirit trapped deep within her body
only a stranger gazed back behind the glass
she could not speak buried inside herself
lost forever to this world, only the shell remains
there is no escaping from this prison
she tried to scream but only silence answers
shatters the reflection with fallen glass and tears
down the drain the blood begins to flow
at least now she no longer has to see
scattered around her feet are slivered figments
old memories that will never again be
the tile is cold against her skin as she feels
porcelain once white now died crimson
there is nothing left for her in this life
only lost hopes and unfulfilled desires
when the girl on the other side of the mirror
only a shadow image that wavers
takes control of who she use to be
life at last to the illusions denied.
