Just a drabble…


Backwards Window

People pass behind me,

Ignoring what they don't want to see.

I am nothing more than a shadow.

The eyes staring back at me

spear broken glass into me.

I want to look away,

I really do,

But I can't.

They pull me in like gravitation,

To their empty dark pools,

Much like mine.

The jagged edges,

Of the glass cut

into my fingers,

As I try to reach out

to the person on the other side.

Teammates?

Yes.

Friends?

Ha.

He turns away at my antics.

He'll attack me when I'm down.

Every time

we meet eyes,

Fury burns in our hearts.

Hatred boils over.

Masks shatter.

So Alike,

Yet so different.

And then,

Through that fractured window,

I see something flicker...

Something I remember from

long ago,

Before a mask made me the deception that I've become.

And...

I start

to think...

What...

What if...

What if, the window,

Were really a mirror,

And the person I'm staring at,

Really is

me?


Bah…

Read? Review?
