Mirrored Past

Raging fires are once ablaze in this darkened room

Threatening to burn memories through the mind

On the mirror I saw another face, a pale one

Why must it cry, why must it lie, why must it die?

Blood splattered surface looked like a unique stroke

From a painter who lived to die, with his very brush,

Let's take away the pen from the lonely poet

For all she spouts is death, and words that no one loves

Will you help the crying soul reflected on the mirror?

Being trapped for all eternity behind the glass.



If no one helps, it will continue looking on forever

Like a spirit from the past, whose rage will always last.

Regret etched in her features, dreams that were made and cast

Someone save her from the mirror of the past.
