Mirrors

Mirrors

A Poem by Kala Benfield

Put me out like a harmful cigaratte.

Drink me lifeless into a whirlpool of lust.

From this lifeless pillow,

I've made of no trust.

 

Choke me into a sense of death in life,

shoot me with a bullet of lies,

and unworthy hearts.

Dreading the seconds I will never find him,

or love him.

Who is he?

With your bullets, you'll shoot me into

puddles of whiskey,

I shall drown.

 

Found in the blindsight of my eyes,

deaf to the words you've spoken.

I'm sorry; I have yet to breathe.

Your sweet senses are bitter and pure.

 

Put the bottle down.

Throw away your gun.

I will one day not drown and wither in decieving alcohol.

Or breath-taking smoke, be shot in an unwanted mirror.

 

If I may say.

I will be yours.

I will assure you.

I'll adore, we'll act as mirrors,

because mirrors...

Never lie...
