Alter Ego

She was my alter ego
Who was stronger, smarter, prettier, sexier, and more confident
Who was reckless and fierce and didn't wear her heart on her sleeve
It was her, who came out only at night, who liked to drink the shame of others and play with hearts.
It was her who didn't care about consequences because, in the end, the one who would deal with them when daylight came, was me.
She was my wicked alter ego
Who I idolized and looked up to,
But I hid from the world like Dorian hid his portrait
She was my alter ego
She was myself
I killed her one night trying to steal her bravery,
And thus I killed myself.
