The Double

The Double

It smiled at me,
squinting its treacherous
eyes that shine
with dark ambitions…

I watched it, stunned by
the apparent invitation
to indulge in the infernal
sins of my daydreams…

Does it truly love me,
or is it just a gesture
of painted pretense,
I stood there wondering…

It imitated my intimate
movements, just to show
that it has something
to do with my life…

No way, you parallel of my real self,
I have to kill you in the final fight,
as I have to find my true face
amidst the sand dunes of desolation…

That moment,
the mirror broke into tiny pieces…
