Sleeping Beauties
We were
born equally
talented and tormented
Able
to mirror people's
motives, thoughts,
ideas, hopes
nobody
ever dared
scouting
behind our surfaces
Embalmed
inside a glass casket, frozen
we looked
alive to most
and yet painfully
dormant
Many
tried to awaken our
hearts enticed
by the reflection of their
selves we so
aptly
provided without
realizing it would
not
have been life to us
Till one
fateful
day the resonance of our
coffins broke
the Spell and we
fell - alive
and living - for one
another
