I stared into a mirror,
and saw nothing.
Though I stood there,
something still missing;
it must have been an error,
a simple mistake.
I could not recall a memory
of ever seeing my face.
A faceless man, lost at sea,
and unable to breathe,
trapped in outer space.
I knew then that my life was
at stake.
The mirror had shattered,
and I was now afloat;
broken shards all over,
not that it mattered, anyway.
I had nothing more to say,
and no other place to go.
I was lost, in a way,
lost at sea.
I did, however,
come across a key.
A key to my sickly memories,
that would force me to
turn the lever
and fall through space,
forever.
The key had been a lie,
and the mirror did not exist.
My memories were fake,
as I was always so blind.
I could not see,
nor could I resist.
My mind twisted and turned,
and eventually,
it burned.
