Love,

I'm pulling you closer.

You can't see me.

I'm pulling you in.

You can't feel me.

I'm pulling you.

Into the darkness.

The mirror that consumes me.

You will soon feel it.

The feeling of loneliness.

The feeling of being trapped.

As I roam free.


~Monster

Dearest,

How dare you leave me in the dust?
How dare you throw me to the side?
How dare you assume my power?
How dare you fight against me?
How dare you run away from me?

How dare you defy me?

~Monster

"Are you real?"
Yes I am.

"Why are you here?"
You called for me.

"What do you want."
To help you.

"How can you help me?"
I can be your friend.

"What is a friend?"
Me.

"Will you stay with me?"
As long as you live.

"Who are you?"
I'm the monster.

Dearest,

All this time, I've suffered.

All this time, I've cried.

Little did you know, every time you beat me down...
It weakened the glass.

It weakened your sense of reality.
It weakened your sense of fantasy.

Now that you're weak, I've spotted a crack in the walls that have trapped me.

Time's ticking.

~Monster

Dearest,

The writings say that you are coming soon.

The writings say that you haven't forgotten.

The writings say that I'll have to wait a little longer.

The writings say that you need a little more time.


My writings say that you're not coming.

My writings say that you've forgotten me.

My writings say that I'm done waiting.

My writings say that you're time's up.



The writings were written only to be washed away.
I've washed yours away.

You can't wash away mine.

They're there forever.



And so am I.

~Monster

Dearest,

You keep me tucked away from view.

You keep me away from the light.

You keep me forgotten from your life.

You keep me out of your mind.

No wonder you are drifting.


I'm hidden.
And you can't find me.

~Monster

Dear those who doubt me,

"Be careful."
"You're delicate."
"You don't want to hurt yourself, love."

Why do I have to be so careful?
Am I really that delicate?
How would it feel to get hurt?

You surround me in bubble-wrap excuses.

You never give me straight answers.

You always avoid the truth as if it will break me.

You doubted me.
Why shouldn't I doubt you?

~Monster

I've always been on the opposite end.

I've always been the last to know.

I've always been the one deal with you.

I've always been the one to fix you.

Let's think for a moment...
How would you like to be on the dark side of the mirror?


Time to find out.

Dearest,

You know I'm always here when you show.

You know I never leave until you do.

If you know...
Then why do you destroy me?

You attack my weakest points until I shatter.

I fall to the ground in pieces, helpless...

And let my tears of crystal rain.

~Monster

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall.
Who's the fairest of them all?

The question will never be answered,
as long as you battle me for the spot.

I am the monster,
I shall decide.

But you just don't get it do you?

I.
Am.
The.
Monster.

Never again will you doubt me.

Dear Otherside,

I can't wait to see you.
If I ever do...

I can't wait to feel you.
If I could feel...

I can't seem to get to you.
No matter how hard I try...

I can't get through the glass.
So I must sit and watch...

I watch you live your life.
As I live your life as a copy...

I am only a reflection.
I will get out soon...

~Monster

Dear Monster in the Mirror,

I now see the things you don't want me to see and I can't stand it.
All of the wonderful things you've shown me in the past now flew away, revealing the monster I never expected to find.
Your eyes used to gleam brightly with the lights of a haven I felt safe in.
Now, they are shaded over, blocking me out of my safe place and pushing me into the monstrous shadows.
I've tried to cover the monster with pretty shades, but the monster always shown through.
I can't find a way to cast my eyes in the water again.

Therefore, I must run.

~The Monster​
