Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror

On the wall

How many times

Will you watch me fall?

The face staring back

Is unfamiliar at best

The cold eyes burn

The subject of my unrest

I recognize the hands

Clutching my face

They used to be mine

But I’ve been replaced

I quietly watch my chest

Rise and fall with each breath

It’s the usual pattern

But still leaves me concerned

It is my outline that I see

But it’s the empty shell

The feeling that consumes

That’s what leaves me unwell

Sickened by what I see

Staring back in the mirror

I used to see myself

Now the image isn’t so clear

So mirror, mirror

Up on the wall

Just tell me please

When I’ll be recalled
