Reflection

There is a stranger in the mirror.
We've met, yes. 
But only in nightmares.

It stares, unblinking.
I smile. It doesn't.

It is me, I know.
The me of the nights
terror claims as its own.

A pleading heart
A shattered mirror
It survives, still.

A thousand splintered strangers
All spilling
far too familiar blood
from their knuckles,
Finally smiling.
