Mirror, Mirror [drabble]
MIRROR, MIRROR
Overalls and daisy chains.
Ruby lips, dancing in my mother’s stilettos.
Contrary Mary she once called me.
Hidden embraces, stolen kisses.
Don’t think of her, just of holding him.
Enchanting Mary, my lover called me.
Desire and guilt are uneasy companions.
No more lies.
Dead Mary, he called me next.
The world holds too many secrets.
It will break. I will break.
Just call me Avenging Mary.
Look inwards. Can you see yourselves?
Turn the mirror out. What do you see?
Bloody Mary. That’s what the world calls me now.
All I am is blood.
All I was is gone.
