Mirror Mirror....

Just another sleepless night...

A ghost trapped in the mirror
Sunken eyes, salty cheeks,
Lips unwilling to smile.

I look at her, she looks at me
Could she be wondering,

About the girl trapped in life?

Trapped in the former in unwilling wondering. That can be tragic. Excellent.

I like this. It's like after something tragic happens the person goes through life as if they are watching themselves.
Sleepless nights always result in depressing stories don't they? Interesting.

An excellent write reminded me somewhat of the story Dorian Gray!

We all get trapped there sometimes......it just depends on whether we know how to get out....

inspired writing! :)

[Samuel Dickens]

Excellent. The good thing is that our images never appear to us as they do to others.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

such an excellent image presented here....when we feel ourselves as ghosts---just shadows of our former selves...

we see that person trapped in the glass.

so much said in so few words.

Thank you J, I always appreciate your reviews. :)

It is so much more tragic to be trapped in life, than in mirrors. Mirrors can be destroyed; but life, even when it is broken or shattered or destroyed, just keeps going on and on and on.....
I hope the ghost and the girl find their freedom and their priceless smiles.

I dont agree with you on that. Imagine shattering a mirror...what do you get? Thousands of tiny mirrors- try shattering those again, and you will still be left with another thousand. Just sharing an interesting thought Kevin :)

I am a huge fan of horror movies. Nothing really scares me anymore because I have seen it all. There is one huge exception, when someone is looking in a mirror and they walk away but the reflection is still there in the mirror.

I like this, a short and simple theme of being trapped no matter where you are.

I love horror movies too :D Im glad you could relate to this. Thank you Pandora; that's a clever choice by the way, your name.

Thank you. It has always been my writing handle :-)
