A soft-spoken voice, from over my shoulder, questions intent; my heart frozen over.
My eyes change their focus, the mirror unveils, a door that's ajar; the shadow assails.
My heart sinks; I turn; I stammer; I plead.
The flash stops my breath; my heart breaks its speed.
My arms stretched out weakly, my legs fail their tasks.
I sit there now trembling, I wonder; and ask.
Receiving a cackle, a grin ear to ear.
"I knew you were tempted; I left it" — she sneered.
holding a picture, of shame; and my tears.
"And now you get blackmailed; my slave; for the years."
