Break down

entry picture

In the mirror

It held a face

that held a face's stare,

 

In that mirror

the face that stared

stared back at me in fear...

 

I knew that once

I turned away

that we would meet again

 

that he would watch

the back of my head

whispering my name.

I have changed the first self photo for another one of me Ray as I thought it may be a tad deliberate, the replacement is a genuine non deliberately strange. Tommy

There's a real message here Tommy, that we can be haunted by ourselves or who we think we are, and so on and so on reflected. I think this a lovely poem , no frills and tightly presented.

Ray (I have to say your photo is quite daunting too!)
