somone there stareing back at me
I looked with great awe
for there was the key to eturnal life
that belonged to the life within me

I dare not take hold, for I knew my destiny
to become weak and old, but there l stood
looking into the dark and cold
that lay so deep inside of me
so far down l coun't have told

l was so far gone in my mind
l didn't my enemy stab me from behind
stealing my soul form my body
and l was startled to find, the reason l died
was that someone stared back at me [comments] => 7 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 13 [informant] => HatchetGirl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 18 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Very interesting outlook. I like the entire idea of how you used the mirror. I have read some Edgar Allan Poe, and I think you did a great job. Reiterating lines over and over again is a big thing in his poetry. Great job.
