Mirror Mirror, Now I See

Mirror Mirror, Now I See

In the mirror I see a face

Uncouth, but shaven and kempt.

Broken into different worlds

By time’s long extent.

 

In the mirror I see a place

Where sorrow does reside.

Pain covers not its face

Behind weary eyes.

 

In the mirror I see a truth

That time washes not away,

That pain does not dismantle

Nor can it displace.

 

In the mirror I see many a broken world

That many an emotion has formed.

Through these worlds pain takes hold

And makes this face feel forlorn.
