---

In the glass, a shattered face,

Cracks reflect a broken place.

Eyes that smile, but not her own,

In the dark, she's all alone.

Whispers echo, soft and clear,

"You're the reason they disappear."

Lena trembles, pulls away,

But the mirror makes her stay.

Fractured self steps from the glass,

Shadows fall as moments pass.

Twisted form with hollow eyes,

Feeds on fears and silent cries.

"Let me in," the creature pleads,

"I can take away your needs."

Empty voice, a tempting sound,

Lena feels the room spin 'round.

Love and rage, they always turn,

Into flames that always burn.

In her chest, the void expands,

Nothing left but broken hands.

Shard in hand, she makes her stand,

Fights the monster’s cold demand.

But the blade strikes deep inside,

Nowhere left for her to hide.

Blood and glass, the mirror’s still,

Reflection fades, her heart grows chill.

All along, the fight was near,

Now there's nothing left but fear.
