The Mirror Vengeance Options

[Jackaroe]

Um... this kind of came up on a whim. After re-reading it, I sometimes wonder how I could ever write something like this... but, oh well. Read at your own peril.

The Mirror Vengeance

Whatever you do
Don’t touch me.
Keep your drooling tentacles
Away from me.
And recoil, recoil,
Your panting, dry tongue
Lest you risk a brutal cut.
Right. There.
The green in your eyes is horrid.
Sickening like vomit.
Oh, purge!
To slap you, beat you, rip off of your face!
Leave nothing there
Expose the bloody bare
As you had done to me.
To black out your eyes,
Drill holes into your skull
And hear you weeping, weeping,
Oh, why!
And have you bleed and leak,
Wail and shriek,
Rue the day you went wild
And lied.
How you left marks on my shoulders
Bruises and aching spots of red
And anguish, my anguish
Pouring out in water,
Too salty for anyone, but suited
For your vulgar taste.
Nothing you granted.
Nothing you eased.
My face ripped off, my tongue ripped.
My eyes blackened,
And my soul…
Stripped.
But you cared not.
Fiend! Villain! Cur!
Spit, I spit, spit at you.
Such filth, such dirt!
Forced to roll in mud.
Like a pig, you awful pig.
Oh, how could I make the pain worse?
I made you bleed, I made you scream.
I scarred your face, and burned your hands.
I slapped and beat, and shrieked and wailed.
You’ll purge, you’ll purge.
Nothing more for you to see.
I have done my part and more
Of everything you did to me.

Thoughts?

Whoa. It reminded you of Sylvia Plath's "Mirror"? That's interesting. Though, I'm pretty sure she didn't use as many gory images. =P
