Sister in the Mirror

[pinkpaperdolls]

my sister in the mirror
you lost me there
and left me here
with all of these monsters
pretty little monsters

and it's a shame I'm not
strong enough to win
or strong enough to lose
'cause we were like mirrors
just too weak to choose

"forever and ever, don't break the chain"
and it's a shame
someone always breaks free.
but everything you were remains
still, inside of me

your ghost hangs 'round
pretending
that these holes in our reflection
aren't pulling me
to surface, for the hungry demons
sending me into battle
hand-in-hand with
the girl who wasn't there
They want to dance
with me
alone.

starving for failure
feeding on my desperation
your relection's blackest holes, multiply
in your absence

mirror twin,
I've memorized
every inch of your life you ever spoke
in your whirpool eyes
I've turned to your shadows
of scents and colors
burned into my mirrored mind
you are forever
You are forever.

my favorite friend,
my lover, my twin
eight months spent nurturing
your aborted love
for me.
and it's a shame
watching it grow
'cause everything you ever were
is everything I'll ever know.

sister in the glass,
our path is clearly
faded with distance
because forever
never lasts.
