Walk into the bathroom
with your feet touching
that cold tile floor
as you stop in front of the mirror.
Stare blankly into the mirror
and not know what
you're looking at.
Pale skin, dark hair,
and those eyes
stare blankly back at you.
the mirror breaks, but is still somehow
in tact upon the wall
as you stare at your now disfigured
face in the mirror.
you're still standing there
staring at this person in the broken mirror.
the person on the other side
starts screaming and pounding
until the pieces start to fall
on the bathroom floor,
and land all around the sink
as no more mirror remains on the wall.
hands are placed on top of the shattered glass
beside the sink.
and as you could have sworn
you were just there watching
what was happening in the mirror,
you stand there with the bloody hands,
heavily panting.
