tarnished

faceless looking inside myself
tarnished endings disappear into the seaside
gasping for reality
toasting glasses clink against the sandstorm of time
each moment passes
ripped from the fabric of itself

snowface

snowy winter swirling flakes winter air bright sunshine cold hands warm cocoa wet mittens gloppy boots snowman snow angel snowball sled boots plow shovel iced trees

seeing herself differently
a reflected mirror image not her own
angry spiteful vengeful facade looks back
a shadow of herself
not who she wants needs to be
an unknown stranger
the evil twin sneaks out
wrecks her happy daily life
shushed and stuffed full of good things
the monster quiets
but silently the twin creeps
speaks out
rears her head and roars
and she does not like it
at all.
