Flee

I moved the mirrors
So you'd go away
Nocturnal night gaunts
Glaring from unknown

I saw you once
Long past twilight hour
Judging with you glance
At miserable mass of man

Taunt me nightly
As tears stain fabric
Scold my mistakes
As a mother a child

Once we were one
My ghost, my tormentor
Apart from me now
I can't bear your touch

Inside me deep
You wait to strike
To remind me completely
Of current transgression

Fleet of foot
And feeble of mind
I moved the mirrors
To avoid myself.
