You and your reflection part ways unknowingly
Faint and eccentric, it plays with the emotions of light and dark
Is that where fables are born?
From the dichotomy of characters facing each other and antagonising
When predetermined answer is an arrogant ‘NO’
The feeling of losing a part of the self over the dilemma is a splitting image
Fear transforms into agony, and in turn, the heart wrenches over the distortions
To instil fear and atrocities on someone else’s pristine reflection
