A Mirror Image

A mirror image,
My reflection.
I can’t escape
Her haunting connection

smirking…laughing
she says “give me full control”
What is she planning?
Why has she consumed my soul?

I’m lost in her eyes,
Her toxic deception
The hate and anguish
I’m imprisoned, never free
but, why’d she vanquish
the light inside of me?

Did I betray her?
Leave her behind?

Is this revenge?
For being unkind?

A mirror image,
My reflection.
I can’t escape
Her haunting connection

Once upon a time
My white wings behind me
spread so wide and bright
Now her black wings bind me
and I suffocate in my fright

I gave up on purity
by believing her poisoned lies
over time I grew limp
as she led me to my demise

Now that I’m gone,
no one can understand
what really happened
it was all her deadly plan
that led me to my coffin

She tricked me
convinced me
that she would help me live
a life of sweet joy and love
she lied to me
and betrayed me

It wasn’t suicide
It was murder
but the murderer did hide
never to be found
besides…
the only witness,
whom she killed…
can no longer make a sound

And so…
I was killed, murdered
by a girl so familiar
a girl so near
but in no way were we similar

A mirror image,
My shattered reflection.
Now I’ll never escape
Our haunting connection
