The Stranger in the Mirror

Waking up looking in the mirror,
Eyes widen at the stranger who looks back
Wondering where did she come from?
What does she want?
Why does she haunt me?
I tentatively smile as I reach out my hand...
To caress a cheek, only to meet silence
that echoes in hate
shots of flame engulf my unknowing hand as I meet flesh...
Anguish feels my eyes
Yet,
she remains untouchable
Her eyes two pools of death that draw me in
I open my mouth to speak
Yet,
Silence is all that echoes the room
Her ocean glimmers in laughter
As she gazes at me
Opening her mouth in mockery
of my inability to speak
The fire begins to lick my arms..
As I cringe away.... in fear
As I step back her predatory smile is revealed
Her pools of Death, sparkle in the heat
My back brushes against someone
startled I turn.....
It is her
She is here with me now
Though I am practiced at deception
she easily reads my anxiety
My feet of their own accord stumble back
as I raise my now flame~riddled arm
She steps forward giving no space to me
As I find myself falling into the water of her
Steam rises from my shoulders as my upper body
burst into flickering stars
that shatter into a million pieces
as does my soul
Each one holding a darkness that threatens
to blight the sun
as they float in space
As our minds become one
I scream.....
in the agony that it brings
ECHOES of pain
That force my eyes open
with blood~stained tears
that she wipes off
with her tender touch
as she tastes my self
Unspeakable thoughts pass my way
as the lump in my throat rises
and falls in horror
What do I do?
What Do I Do?
"succumb to me, my love" she sings
Closing my eyes to erase the truth
Oh, I try so to hide
Reckless I move away
Only to be slammed against the mirror
Shattering....
Splintering....
Exploding...
As her blooded lips with my tears
Fall closer to my silent breath
I shut my eyes as hers begin to flame
Feeling her tongue brush against,
my trembling mouth
I embrace her fully
I am yours
I am always yours
Lead and I shall follow
I plead this with my life
Bathed in the flames of her shadows
She turns toward the shattered mirror
With a mysterious smile upon her face
"you are mine, you will always be mine" she whispers
As I vow to do her bidding
