I caught his reflection in my mirror today,

The other me,

The one without the eyes,

He smiled,

It was a sad smile,

He’s getting closer,

Day by day,

I can feel him reaching out to me,

He wants what I once wanted,

To be the one in control,

I’ve squandered it,

I should’ve killed them instead of buried them,

My past,

My selves,

My sanity and dismay,

I saw my reflection today,

It was there in the background,

Slowly getting closer,

Slowly breaking through…
