The Mirror's Tale


Transfixed by the eyes
Gazing back from the mirror
"Someday
One day
Perhaps it will be clearer"
But the doubt, staring back
Only mocked her foolish hopes
Twisted
Tangled
Torn apart
Her dreams tied down
With iron ropes
It's hard to draw breath
When loneliness chokes it down
You push and pull
Attract
Repel
Crack a joke and fake a smile.
"They come, then they go,"
She cried,
"Or...
Do I pull away?"
The conscience in the mirror
Had no need to say.




~"As in water face reflects face, so a man's heart reveals a man."

That's really incredible. Not only the picture, but how descriptive you were with the short story-type thing. Love it :)
