Stranger
I looked in the mirror and what did I see?
I saw a stranger looking right back at me
I recognized nothing from her lips to her eyes
Or the way she tilted her head when she began to lie
I looked into her eyes to see what they told
But the ones looking back held much, but no soul
The reflection barely flickered as she began to whisper
But the secrets she told sent a shudder through my figure
The string of sentences she compiled were ripping me to shreds
Turned into not a person but a shell filled with dread
My mind was not my own as the girl tore me to pieces
Every flaw she discovered reprimanding me, truly ceaseless
And as I watched this monster staring at me
I was not sure that I would ever again be free.
She snapped and she bit at every fragment I relinquished
But I was only to ever find that part of me that had fallen to pieces
This stranger that I saw looked completely and totally fine
But I knew she had taken what had once been only mine.
The destructive thoughts she gave me were jumping in my head
But perhaps the only way to get rid of them is if we both end up dead.
