I have been split into two versions of one whole, a garden variety angel and a demon without a soul. I can no longer gaze into a mirror without seeing the crack, a part of me shines white, and the other so black. I touch the reflection to see if I can fix what''s been broken, one side so warm, one side so cold, but neither has yet spoken. When I am sad the dark shadow takes me over without much fight, I watch from inside this body unable to move or scream out in fright. When my dark side recoils it leaves me with regret, It''s like a waking nightmare jumping up in cold sweat. Maybe one day when I look at my reflection the crack will be gone, I will no longer be a slave to the dark side, I will no longer... be a pawn.... |
