"Why?" I growl. "Why did you come back?"
She just smiles at me. That smile of hers. The all knowing smile. And no matter how hard I try to break from it, it always comes back to bind me. Again and again. Why?
I stare at her in sinking despair. Slowly...slowly the quicksand swallows me up.
And I freeze. Forced to a still. I can't move under this.
Weight.
On my shoulders. On my heart.
She keeps smiling. She came back. The girl I thought I had left behind. Came back to torment me.
With that smile.
That only grows wider. And wider.
I glare at her. But her eyes too can see through me. The truth does hurt. Like the glowering sun burning the mist away. Away. To a locked up place. Shot down from the skies. I bleed on the grass as my blood runs down the hill.
Will she laugh too?
"Why?" I sob.
..why
I can only ask this pitifully under my crushing defeat. While she smiles back from the mirror.
