Reflection... Poem by Fonda kerr

Reflection
I am looking in a mirror at myself only I don't see my reflection
I see someone else I cry out I scream in my head who is this
looking back at me why can't I see that person why do they look dead.

I am looking in a mirror today watching myself from far away
Reflection gets cloudy black then gray I watch my existence
fade way the face in the mirror is black as night all I see are terrified eyes

I am standing in cemetery looking down at my grave
wondering if it had to be this way I see a man not standing far away
his face is black and filled with decay like mine had been the previous day
All I see is fear in his eyes as e drifts away in the never ending night
