The Girl With My Face
She lies in her bed
crispy, minty
innocence
tastes like cinnamon
in my mouth.
Her eyes once like ruby's
now destroyed thanks
to needless brutality.
Her face is all but destroyed
split open like a cloth bag
bandages cannot hide
the damage caused
Though i have never met her
i love her
and she loves me
I am Jesus Christ her savior
and she is about to be set free.
I cut i graft
i plan, i craft
Every incision
painstaking
molding what left of her face
folding tabs of bone and flesh
into every inch and space.
She awakes
i get off on the anticipation,
she gazes in the mirror
to see her refection
she is greeted with
a face not her own
but my own.
It is perfection
She screams
she is a thing of beauty
i have created her in my image
but they are tears of joy
...Right?

Oh seems like the archetypal mirror-gazing terror of schizophrenia, only more frightening with his face on it!

In my mind i think the suregeon created her in jis own image maybe he had a god complex, or maybe he thought he was prefection and everyone should look ike him. Vanity out of control.
Thanks for reading

Always fascinating, what lies beyond things and how much of it is real, if Alice could find another dimention through a mirror then why cant we? great write, Marcus!

oh my god, man. oh my effing god. TO THE READING LIST!
I've been off this site for so long and I come back to find this. love it.
The repetition of the word 'destroy' in stanzas three and four is a little bit awkward, but otherwise I adore every bit of it.
Absolutely love how you showcase the first person's vanity and how he (he?) thinks of himself as a deity. Says a lot about a lot. Thank you so much.
Love,
Elle
