#mirroring
Please behave normally Let's go out together and talk about all sorts of things but not about me because, when I let you speak nothing seems to stay in place: with daring explorations of questions I don't have yet you set my thoughts in motion You drive them apart and confused I leave you Please let us be friends

Please let us
The Oracle knows what I want, that's what she gives -- me as her advice.

[ The Oracle knows ]
It was not me who you loved. It was not me who you saw, but rather the mirror you put before me. It was not my voice you heard, but rather your own echo. The mirror you held between us was fragile. Slowly it began to crack. Each time I held you closer, the mirror began to disintegrate. The more the mirror began to break, The more you saw me. But you cannot stand to not stare at your own reflection. As the mirror shattered, so did my heart. You picked up the chards and threw them to my skin. For you do not see the blood coursing through my veins, but rather the lack of yourself. For it was not me who you loved, but rather your mirror.

Broken Mirror.
Her wail drowned in a deep, black ocean So atrocious to be subdued by her own body She locked the gate to her mind and hid the key in her heart For who would find it and care enough to save her soul from complete numbness? Her body instead consumed the scars and her depression slowly drained her of life "For who would notice?" her mind thought with a sharpteethed grin "The good die young, thus it means I'm good?" the girl quietly asked herself And then laughed For she couldn't cry Couldn't care less Couldn't see herself any longer It was HER life and she would either die in vain now, close her eyes and drift away peacefully when the time comes, or break and deal with the pain alone For the truth may hurt, but secrets **** Thus she kept quiet to not concern anybody but herself But even then her unbearable suffering went unseen, unheard And the one way out always echoed in the back of her head Taking over har actions She cut She bled She prayed She could finally scream loud 'Cause...she's dead

The Silent Screech
If I look into your eyes, I see a world, I never knew. If I look into your eyes, I see freedom, peace and harmony. If I look into your eyes, I see love and caring. If I look into your eyes, I see beyond all limits. If I look into your eyes, I see a mirroring of me. But in way, I never saw myself before.

A world, I never knew

Plops Upon The Surface ~ Haiku
Dear Me,             You ask only others if your work is good, you never actually trust in your own judgment. People have told you your writing is beautiful, so why don't you believe them? It must be the same reason you don't find yourself beautiful, because when you read your work or look in the mirror you wish it were different. For others to enjoy something even more the maker should be confident, so why aren't you? I hear you telling people who love you, you have no worth. I hear you telling yourself in the mirror you hate what you see. I hear you crying at night because of all the hate you hold for yourself. I hear you sitting in your bed gouging your heart out every night because you wish to be different. I've wrote to tell you to stop! When you do this you're hurting me the most, for I am the only one who's tortured by these sounds, for I am the only one forced to hear them everyday. Please stop, for you are killing me! I don't want to suffer anymore...... Please, I can't take this pain much longer. I know you're stronger than this! So please, please....... Please......just stop.

Dear Me
You are the eagle Lifting my heart into Unexplored realms Of azure expanse. You are the wild wolf Howling my yearnings into the crisp frost Of twilight skies. A tiger in the shadows With the flame Of all my passions Burning in your eyes.
