In The Mirror

I look in the mirror,

And what do I see?

I see forlorn eyes,

Staring back at me.

 

My eyes.

 

I look in the mirror,

And what do I see?

I see a tearstained face,

Peering back at me.

 

My face.

 

I look in the mirror,

And what do I see?

I see a gloomy, empty room,

Silently mocking me.

 

My heart.

 

I look one more time,

And, lo and behold.

There’s an empty eyed girl,

With a broken heart that is cold.

 

So what do I see?

My reflection.

My image.

It’s me.
