The Creature Within

Unrecognizable is the monster looking back at her from behind the glass.

Once shimmering eyes now lack the strength to shine; hollow and empty.

Skin that once glowed,

now dull and grey.

The beauty that once graced her

now a mere memory.

 

Bony fingers

pull and ****

at what little is left of her body.

Clutching at the bones beneath her paper skin

she screams.

 

Tears roll down her face

as she claws at the glass before her.

She cries aloud for it to go away.

But still it stands there,

taunting her.
