Missing Reflection
mirror, like murky water.
looking deeply, for any resemblence of what was me.
dialated eyes, searching for a glimpse of my soul.
my breath, fogging up this empty pool.
i used to see a beautiful but lost girl.
now, the image has distorted.
am im still standing here, facing the abyss.
an outline of an older woman now faces me.
oh, where have i disappered to.
do others see this ghost before them.
a shadow exist now, how long has it been.
since i was a creature of substance.
solid, still remaining on the plane between light and the absence of light.
