Mirrors edgeA Poem by John HolmesA description of her friend and her fight against Anorexia.She has a smile of moonlight that pierce veil and fog full and true with jewels for eyes and hair of dawns light. sweet and sophisticated like the sugar in your tea. she is everything but once she was nothing once her eyes were not jewels. she was bewitched. cursed upon a mirrors edge she saw not herself but a demon. terrible and persistent. frail and deathly lonely. rotting. it was her. or so she thought. and she listened to it. its whispers and became as it. but her heart knew. but her heart knew. i am more than this. and so she looked upon the demon. and saw it was hollow. empty and dead. and all it wanted was to make her like so. empty of flesh, soul and heart. this she could not do. and so she turned from mirrors edge. and broke the creature. and so people saw again. what she was. a smile of moonlight that pierce veil and fog full and true with jewels for eyes and hair of dawns light. but also a spirit of iron. and the will of an angel. yet the kindness of a child. she was something beautiful. made from broken glass. oh what a mosaic the world had made that day. © 2014 John Holmes
