Hollow Question, Broken Reflection

by mizuraikage

This is a hybrid of two sonnets a wrote about what i think a conversation between the mirror and the evil queen should have been. original to me and really just hear in case someone might enjoy them. its a one shot at best. Meant to show some flexibility in my writing.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall/ Oh Queen, My Queen

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Staring blankly back my way,

Can you see the heart of all?

Or just the troubled and gone astray?

You ask me to reveal every secret.
The knowledge of every heart I glean,
Yet face an answer you now regret
Where now do you stand Oh Queen, My Queen?

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Why so silent do you sit?

Do you lack pity for those that fall,

Or those that stumble in the pit?

You seek compassion within cold crystal eyes.
While demanding each truth I've seen,
Yet hear no answer fashioned from lies
What now do you hear Oh Queen, My Queen?

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Into you I stare in hopes to find,

Some beauty far beyond recall

Or answers and peace of mind.

You will never find the answer you need.
Even now, I hear your desperate plea,
Yet uncaring that even your heart can bleed
Where now will you go Oh Queen, My Queen?

But all I see is twin black holes.

In that Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

For I am just the Mirror, Mirror on the Wall,
But Oh Queen, My Queen. I see that you will fall!
