Similar Reflections

There it is again, stretching, a wide toothy grin. Parallel to an Odynophile, forcing that heartless smile. With knowledge it causes, agony unseen, pain it obliges. Each encounter sustained, a knife wedged, an inch gained. Perforating into the marrow, stinging, dripping, each cut shallow. Fragmenting the warmth within, displayed upon a pedestal to spin. Out of control, no finger to grip, no longer centered, it slips. Apathy takes it's place, Similar reflections now etched upon a face.
