October.

Once upon a Neverwhere,
there was a girl you thought you knew.

But now this mirror is cracked,
and the familiar reflection is shattered,
warped by a thousand things gone wrong.

Choke it down.
The scream claws its way up,
up... up... up...
and out.
Bleed.

You may recognize her,
although she's a little thinner,
a little more bitter,
a little less shy.
Her hair is still ebon;
her eyes still gleam
if she laughs.

Swallow.
These pills, the burning,
acid in your throat.
Breathe.

There once was a girl you thought you knew,
and she haunts you.
But this girl,
staring at you through the spider-webbed mirror,
is a stranger now.
A stranger even to herself.

And you don't fucking know her any more.

Please tell me what you think
