Litany of the Mirrorfire

A poem I made inspired by the band Ghost

By Makayla SmythePublished about a year ago • 1 min read

You came to me not as salvation, but as recognition—

a mirror lit by fire,

a voice that made silence kneel.

Your shadow touched mine like a vow.

"I was not made to save you—

I was made to see you burn beautifully."
