the mirror warped at the sight of her distorted face

condensed tears spoke louder than thundering words

‘swoosh’ and down went another part of her soul

tore apart the bevelled edges and smeared her grin


a window paned groaned when it reflected the image

mould began to ache at the frame of moist darkness

‘follow me to the heart of despair and you must listen’

but the cacophony only heightened the sense of foul smell


stench oozed from margins of trance and transcended

purulent voices shouted at scars to rejoice and applaud

screams hammered the nails into her flesh at the cross

reverie to nightmares dazed a suspended anticipation


of fear hallucinating cobwebs in apathetic labyrinths

mazed anger disguised as sorrow as they cut into flesh

once a sweet passion fruit now rusty corrosion splashed

her skin and pierced hope as it uttered ‘don’t let me go’


a silent and frightening retreat unfastened a dream catcher

lost bare threads falling on deaf ears blasted delusions 

small feathers of resolve budged under duress and floated

until her looking glass shattered into one hundred pieces


the shards screeched unwilling to form a mosaic of relief

resembled her broken façade lacerated skin and reflections

and yet somehow the sensation felt like a puncture of dread

the childhood princess had reached rock bottom and wept


‘do not hurt me Daddy I am immaculate and innocent’

‘Mom why don’t you protect me with unblemished care’

yet bleeding into night terror and sheets only wet his abuse

until she realized she was the victim and not guilty or at fault


when she grasped fragments of recollections and scraps

aimed the splinters at where they came from and sliced

into her parents’ evil rape of her vulnerable juvenescence

they died a painful death and she finally imagined a future
