The Girl Without A Face

The Girl Without A Face

A Poem by L0v3craft
"

Inspired by a dream I had.

"
Beyond the void…
There’s a place inside her head
A vacant hole…
Where she follows dead things to their sanctum.

You cannot fill it with hopes and dreams
The role of a Dreamer is not her thing.

There’s no soul,
Although much like a mannequin, she’s still alive
Even if her existence is synthetic; a mold of plastic lies.
There are no words, a product of loss,
So watch as she reels from each image,
Striving to find faces.

Beware the girl without a face
For she is you when you’re in the Dream-place

Dreams are fun for me--even nightmares...and mine are always of the slightly horrific and fantastic sort :]

So watch as she reels from each image,
Striving to find faces.

Creepy! And sad... I swear, tonight I'm going to dream about angler fish men and a faceless girl who wants my face! Oh well, if I do it'll be fun to talk about lol. I really, really like your writing.

hmm.. could be the remaining traces of 9 straight hours playing world of warcraft and overdosing on hot pockets.

Yes... The one who delights in darkness delights in nightmares as well... Beautifully dark :)

There is enough reason to be afraid of the girl without a face.
I enjoyed the nice poem.

I would say that the dreams serve you well in your writing!

Reading this poem made me think about society today and the pressure to assume identities that are beyond our personalities. I feel as though young people, especially girls, are conditioned to be like the figure in this poem. As a result, they search for the trendiest veneer to cover them.

I know that is likely not what you indented, especially seeing as a dream sparked the poem overall. One of the things I really like about the poem is the ending couplet. I think it summarizes the poem well and leaves the reader with a sense of uneasiness about what true identity is or about the land of dreams.

I loved this poem. Mostly because it was a little weird and not like most poetry I read. This was described beautifully, and we all have bad dreams that inspire the best of us. This was amazing. The girl without a face will inspire me until I find something else to inspire me. xD
