Whispering 

plotting 

planning

Always there in the corners, the shadows

waiting for peace after pain but it seldom follows

the mirror, she's screaming

they're screaming right back

clawing their way out

clawing her eyes out

that door shut and sealed has opened a crack

filling up her head and erasing her mind

little by little she loses track of time

and wakes from her slumber that isn't true sleep

memory fuzzy and her body weak

stares at the damage of what they have done

the mirror is broken

but still they aren't gone
