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.
