Stranger in my Mirror

Stranger in my Mirror

A stranger in my Mirror

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You’re not a stranger
No, I am yours.
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore.
A wipe away and you calm
Only to fear as I smile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I laughed while you screamed.
A fragile frame aged with misery,
And when our eyes meet
I know you see me
While you are lost, never to be seen
I will be here, to control
What I deem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I took control while you cried.
You didn't seem to care then
When will you see
That you are me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I grinned as you recoil
Disgust is what you may feel
And to you, I am oil
You are water
I only laughed at this
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t want to be afraid
I don’t want to die inside,
Just to breathe in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m tired of feeling so numb.
Relief exists,
I find it
When we are-
Cut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
