The Mirror

The Mirror: Pt. 2 of My Hell

I look over at you

And I try to remember

I smile up at you

Pretending that I know

Everyday, I try to tell you

What’s happening inside

But the words that I seek

Can never be found

My mind is shattered

Memories beyond repair

Trying to find reality

Forever living in a dream

You look at me and smile

I wonder if you know

The pain the boils inside

As you hold me close

Never knowing what is real

Never understanding how I feel

I wish that I could just tell you

So I wouldn’t feel so alone

Am I dreaming?

Is this world real?

How can I escape?

Will I ever be free?

Questions without answers

Possibility without reason

How can I survive like this

Never knowing my reality

Hours crawl on by outside

But minutes are my memory

Days are nothing but flashes

Years stretch for eternity

The monsters have left my mind

But now belong to reality

People have become my demons

Familiar strangers saying “Hi”

But one stranger never leaves

Forever being stalked by her

She lives in only one place

And that is in my mirror
