Looking Glass
Though the looking glass she saw Taunted by demons every night
A reflection near the door Made her feel
She turned her head that dreams aren't good
to take a look Nights of terror fear and fright
Then felt she had been mistook Maybe he thought
she understood
She looked back and saw again
The same reflection Keep the darkness for the night
near the chair Daytime flashbacks are enough
It was now closer and her brain In the night time
Began to register despair there's just fright
In the day time there's real stuff
As her gaze was drawn to it
She watched it moving ever near So the looking glass was broke
She felt her unease rise a bit And the daytime turned to fear
And change from unease into fear And she knew it was no joke
Went to bed each night in tear
Looking back into the room
She saw nothing And the demons came and went
that could explain And she fought them
So with a sense of utter doom good and sure
Glanced at the But the nightmares won’t relent
looking glass again So she fights them
true and pure
Behind her shoulder
now there stood So the looking glass was broke
A figure staring at her face And the demon went away
It's form was ghastly She was quiet never spoke
dripping blood About the strangeness of that day
Her heart was pounding at a race
Carries on and doesn't look
And as in every dream she’d had At a mirror any more
This demon was a perfect match For her sanity he took
A nightmare would drive her mad Looking through that glass mirror
But daytime means
h#e's off his patch Jane Shields (C)
