Mirror, mirror

A Poem by Lexy Barton

Mirror, mirror

Lie to me,

And show me what

I want to see.

A world untouched,

Un-harmed by love.

A world not cursed,

That soars above.

A world of warmth,

Not cold as ice.

A world where hearts break once,

Not twice.

 

Mirror, mirror

Lie to me,

And show me what

I wish to see.

A moonlit night,

Not pouring rain.

Tears cried for joy,

Not cried for pain.

A peaceful life,

A brand new slate.

A world where love,

Can't turn to hate.

 

Mirror, mirror

Lie to me,

And show me what,

I know can't be.

A world where death,

Is not a choice.

A place where I,

Can't hear his voice.

A world where cuts,

Don't bleed or scar.

Where I can watch

Life from afar.

A world where I,

Can hide away.

To die again,

Another day.

 

Mirror, Mirror

Lie to me,

And show me what,

I need to see.

Reflect a world,

Unlike my own.

Where what is real,

is never known.
