Gaze into the mirror 
At that beauty standing there
No mar upon perfection
A visage pure and fair

Smile a mouth that curves in glass
Reflection in the eyes
Full form is that caught staring back
Deadened, yet alive

Passions build without restraint
No halt to those desires
No holds barred now evil deeds
That feed untended fires

Flesh becomes the canvas
Bone is now the frame
Trapped within the portrait
Cursed to bear your name

How blissful to be blameless!
No shackles of remorse!
Destroy now its creator
Disappear the source

Wrath of hand and dagger raised
Therein solution lies
Hack into that painted ghoul
So sin’s proof can’t survive

Yet in the stabbing aftermath
Grotesque upon the floor
Lies horror turned upon itself
And pristine art restored.
