Darkest of Mirrors

Memories lock within

reflection of the past

buried deep inside her heart

the Furies rage in agony

 

Mirror mirror on the wall

soul trapped 'tween two worlds

her dungeon hanging by a thread

life continues without a glance

 

A child's mirthful laughter

deaf to shadow guardians

faces of stone in silence

passing tears bring no mercy

 

Jealous moon outside their reach

upon their ***** a cold wind blew

till death do us part a lover pledge

promises that faith could not keep

 

Torn flesh and a broken spirit

abandon in reckless desperation

escape is but a futile undertaking

'neath the surface lurks her demons

 

Reality soon dawn on her

fate unmasks it's cruel face

contempt and laughter outside her cell

echoing her terror and fears

 

Inside the mirror's dark reflection

shadowy ghost pantomime

doom to watch life in soliloquy

forgotten prisoner of the past
