Staring Back

facing the truth

By Darcie M. TrembleyPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

My love is a mirror

I always stand behind;

a witness silent as paralysis

but not blind-

oh no, not blind.

Your love is a weapon

disguised well as a gift;

a beautiful yet venomous thing

that says:

"Come closer, it is safe."

then stands over me as i die

staring at my own reflection

the eyes give it away

and the void is always there

staring back
