Mirror

I look at myself in the mirror
and see how I feel inside looks
Love and deceit trickle down my eyes,
insecurity wrinkles my brow
Silence shatters with a roar of cries,
eternal void then casts a throw
Shadow of yesterday won't let me breath
and my heart won't let you go!

When eyes start hurting
and weeps subside
When body gives up
and I can't look anymore
I put the mirror aside
and bury my face in darkness.

Bizarre

It looked real-
the drawing on fog
settled over window pane

Behind locked doors
bizarre shapes took form
lux started to wane

The door needed the key
