A life

"Another word?" she's saying to me,

"Another sentence?" she's asking me,

No, I believe, no that's not what I asked for, lovely.

Her dress is green and white, perfectly trembling underneath,

"Another dream?" she questions,

"Another hope?" she laughs, cracking at the centers of her evilness,

No, I understand, no that's not what I'll seek out, beautiful.

Her hands are cold and lustful, perfectly pale and chilled,

"Another request?" she's spitting at me,

"Another belief?" she's digging at me,

No, I have to endure, no that's not what I'll beg for, gorgeous.

Her eyes are dark and angry, perfectly powerful and cold,

"Another plead?" she's yelling at me,

"Another demand?" she forces into me,

No, I love what I love, no that's not what I'll cry for, stunning.

Her toes are curled and icy, perfectly standing and sharp,

"Another hero?" she screams at me,

"Another valuable friend?" she stabs at me,

Yes, I need what I need, yes, that's what I'll love forever.

"Die," she says to me,

"Die, this is what you deserve,

never to be saved--

Never to be saved," she repeats,

but I've already turned away from the mirror.

Another brilliant piece. As I was going down in the flow of the poem, I was thinking wow this would be great if she were expressing inner turmoil. And surprise I was right.. So I love it extra now. I think it's a perfect expression of that "look in the mirror". So many go through out life unable to do so.. Love it!!!

The description of the demon inside is great. It encompasses everything from self doubt to self hate- all the problems we all feel.

Excellent! The reflection can disturb on so may levels! It knows us well, the balance of what we encase, again, you have kept the suspense throughout love, until the end, that is cleverly done!

What an amazing write.. I love the questionings and the answers, the inner struggle when we look in the mirror. You captured that struggle perfectly.
