Reflections
I looked into the mirror, a face stared back at me
He looked familiar, is he someone from my past?
There was no expression, or any sign that he recognised me
Is he real? There’s was no glint in his eyes, so I couldn’t tell
I moved closer and tried to look into his eyes
Closer still, I was caught in a vortex and dragged into the mirror
Ashen faces suddenly appeared
Hands reached out and grabbed at me
I heard voices screaming for help
A bright light pierced the darkness
I open my eyes, I saw a face looking at me in the mirror
He moved closer, and stared into my eyes
It’s as if he was trying to look deep into my soul
I wonder what he will find?
