Seeing the mirror

by Karlee   Oct 24, 2004


I glower into this mirror
An empty soul
Trapped inside staring back
Staring back at thee
Caramel blonde curls
Now lay matted and wet
Fallen upon broken shoulders
Grief stricken face, reveals
A troublesome time
So much regret
Ticking away in a mind
Soon I am looking
into a sea of bright blue
These orbs feeling pain,
Open like gaping wounds
One by one rushing down
Sinuous patterns of bitter tears
Kissing those lips
every one different in taste
Moment after moment
This frown grows longer
Morbid curiosities
Lingering in mind
Tempting with the apple of its fears
Death has never looked so appealing
Life in a glimpse
Seeing the cuts on the wrists
Collapsing to the floor
Blood lingers around
Dancing out of this corpse
Awaken to reality
The mirror in my palm
I look to see
That empty image inside
Has always been me
