This piece is about fear, facades and hiding behind the fake 'you'
Rose petals litter the wooden floor,
Heavy drapes hide the beauty of the world outside,
The flickering candle illuminates a presence, momentarily,
But in a blink of those beautiful eyes,
She is alone once more, before the world.

Crushed rose petals like the broken dreams,
An innocence frozen in a day so long ago,
The fleeting silhouette in the glass – the façade,
Smothered by the brown damaged petals,
And she hides once more, behind the mirror.
