Mocking Bird

You stand there
looking at me through mirrored eyes
squirming in my dress
smudging my makeup down your face
laughing at me (and crying for you)
What makes you steal my soul?
My false nails?
My sanity?
My flesh crawls to know
you were watching last night
as serenely I danced and talked
unaware of your closing web
that blackness in your grin
the menace in your walk
the knives in your voice (covered with my accent)
what can I give or say to have you leave me be?
leave me alone?
leave me intact?
leave your inexistence?
Go back to your life
sad counterfeit

    This piece is perfection in the highest form.I am amazed at many of the entries already recieved,but this is incredibly poignant,relevant and superb.Sad couterfeit as the ending reinforced the message. Thankyou.

    • So very glad you liked this one. Jealousy is a vile shadow that preys on the innocent. Great contest. Thank you for your lovely comments.
