I saw myself
in a fire
up close, raw, unedited
I did not personally enjoy seeing it
deadened eyes
they seemed so **** empty
hollow cheeks
pale in comparison to when I was a child
a frown so deep
it could probably cut ice
brows creased with a fury
at what I know not
the entirety of all I used to be
emptied
who is that I am looking at
echoing in the flickering flames
Came to mind when I booted Lily's kindle fire and saw my face in the darkness. I do not much like it up close. I rarely take the time to look at myself so when I do I am shocked.
