Stranger Than I

A sudden thought
Gone before it came
A whisper in the dark
Waving as it parts
Followed by a wave
Of dreaded misery
Fragile
And a single tear
It's come and gone
Before I hear the scream
With no time
To register its origin
A crimson streak
Runs down my neck
The screaming stranger
Staring at me
Pleading
No
Begging...
For life?
The darkness engulfs me
As the mirror crashes
At my feet...
My feet?
