The Other Within

She stood, waiting,

Grinning from ear to ear,

her features mirroring mine

her eyes, only darker.

The ambience hung gloom-ridden,

the mirror reflecting the quietest of atrocities,

battling those left unspoken,

her presence steeped in deceit.

“Shall I grant you, victories

and desires you dare name?”

Her words struck like thunder-

the voice of despondency.

This immoral aura lingered,

yet I did not yield,

for angels win battles

and tempt collapses like petals- those of a dead petunia.

My eyes spoke more than words,

her eyes grew dimmer.

Mirrors narrate all kinds of deceiving tales,

yet the fables within remain in its truest forms.
