Snap. Crack
I leave my hiding place
To see in the mirror
A familiar face
.
As I move closer
Chills come over my body
Because when I move
She does not copy
.
The image is unclear
And quite hard to see
But in an instant I
Recognize it’s me
.
My hand reaches out
To touch the oval glass
In a voice higher than my own
“What do you want?” I ask
.
Mirror Elizabella just laughs
In reply
“You should know we always come
On a darkened sky”
.
“You’ve avoided all
Our previous advances.
We are no longer taking
Any chances”
.
Suddenly she steps through the mirror
She is standing just inches from me
“We’ve told you before that you should not be here
It is now finally time for you to leave”
.
I look her/ me straight in the eyes
“Seriously, what is with you guys?”
All I wanted was a house of my own
But all you’ve done is invade my home!”
.
It felt good to stand my ground
Even if no protection was to be found
All she says is, “I’m sorry, we know”
And through the mirror we both go.
