eisoptrophobia

By Chie Theresa Fujioka

There i stand and gaze ahead
I stare into the mirror
But the face once known is gone
Though it be in a mirror

I used to watch, with animation at
the Face inside the mirror
but near it came to slay my soul
the face inside the mirror

I could not draw my eyes away
from the ice jail of my mirror
and so my life, it took from me
to worlds inside the mirror

And though I pleaded day and night
for release from the mirror
no one would believe my words
said they, t'was my face in the mirror

So there I stared, weaker, weaker
pulling from the mirror
but alas the demons held my eyes
to devil of the mirror

Strain and fight did my heart
not to drown in silver river
but finally my heart gave way
I fell
