Aerul Ravings

Turmoil

Late last night

I stood alone

Just me and the mirror

Nothing dearer

I gazed into the image of me

As it stared back

Eyes pure as black

A wave from my hand

Brought a growl from the man

Standing there

All alone

With only me

To see his performance

I asked whom he was

And a smile

Wrapped around his face

And strangled him in disgrace

I was alone

And confused

Something's wrong

That I knew

So I hid from the mirror

And curled up in a corner

And cried my eyes to dust

When I awoke

In the morning

I found a mirror

At my feet

And that same man

Stared up at me

I asked whom he was

And he frowned

In such a way

That his face

Began to melt

And I ran away

To my bed

I laid all alone

With my hands

On my face

And I cried

Both my eyes

Away to dust

I awoke

To a sound

Something tapping

Like a hound

At my door

To my feet

I then rose

And to the door

I then walked

With a steady

Little creak

I stood

In defeat

There was the man

Staring straight into me

Eyes pure black

With a smiling frown

To the floor

I then fell

He had won

And I had not

To the mirror

Goes the spoils

Of this off centered

Turmoil
