Doppelganger

I see you there
beyond my grasp
the barrier between us so
thin, such a strong yet
fragile thing

Or are you beyond my grasp
as I feel the cold veil
melt
and colder yet your
touch

I thought you would be
my soul mate
the other half to complete me
but as your wraith like
hand comes through the glass
I realize it is a different pairing;
a different kind of half

As your cold breath, rank and foul
caresses my sad yet innocent soul
I realize you are truly all I am not
cold, hard, and malicious your grin
as you are born through glass

Frozen in the terror rising like bile
in the back of my throat
I watch in painful awe of what my yearning
has released
as you stretch your limbs and shake
the bitter cold from your body
but never will you remove it from your soul

Your dead eyes turn to meet mine
wide like that of a frighten child
and you bore into them with such
smoldering hate I cease to breathe
the fire and ice of your presence
more than my peaceful, wistful demeanor
can comprehend or tolerate

And as my world dims around me
you laugh a menacing chuckle
chilling me to the bone
forcing me to replace you
on the other side of the veil
the last echo of my only reality
you telling the balance must be kept;
be careful what you wish for
kissing my cold,pale lips
and sucking the last of my warmth

Waking from my nightmare
in total frigid enveloping darkness
only to find it real
as my doppelganger sealed our fates
on opposite side of a mirror

    Wow. thinking your dreamed something thinking the darker side of someone couldnt be that dark and therefore must be a nightmare...only to find the other was truly that dark and evil. I have deffinitely been there. This dreaded feeling may go away after the break-up, just not overnight.

    Great. Wonderful and very well written. The flow of the words were just ahazing. My favorite part because i thought the words fitted eachother well was "Your dead eyes turn to meet mine
    wide like that of a frighten child
    and you bore into them with such
    smoldering hate I cease to breathe
    the fire and ice of your presence
    more than my peaceful, wistful demeanor
    can comprehend or tolerate" good job and thanks for entering my contest i wish you the best of luck.
