the mirror doesn't lie
The mirror doesn’t lie
Perhaps indents, reverses,
Contains
That which we hide
For it has no soul
No desire to know us.
It cares not
About your heartache
Or joy
Feels not your tears
Hears not your curses.
It remains neutral
Undecided
Uninvested
It knows no loneliness
When you are not there.
It will never tell you
That hair cut is awful
Nor ask
Why are you crying.
To it
You are but a reflection
Gazing into itself
Wondering
Which is real.
