Dead House

two souls in one mind.

enough to break

one already broken girl.

her other half vanishes

leaving her alone

in a world that she does not

understand.

she had grown accustomed to darkness,

yet now she is thrust into the light

people she'd never met

and a girl in the mirror that keeps getting closer.

a boy that understands who she is.

a best friend with roots in magic.

a murder that she doesn't remember.

she doesn't remember.

something has been woken up

a snake that curls in the dead house of her mind

fangs that whisper to her.

it must be destroyed.

and it's his fault,

the boy she trusted, the boy she loved,

he has killed her other half.

he has awoken the monster.

and she's doing things now

that she swore she'd never do,

broken promises to a girl that no longer exists.

the girl in the mirror is here.

a ritual conducted

her mind on display

each room of her dead house

searched

in an attempt to find someone

who is no longer there.

tongues cut out

madness reached

the ritual gone wrong

there is only one way

to fight fire.

and the world burns.
