Mirror

Mirror, tell me what you see When you laugh at me, Mirror, tell me you cry for me When you laugh at me. Darkness eclipses even the brightest dawns, For these flames are dreams that once I had drawn, Reasons fail to have me comprehend What at this opportunistic hour do I intend. This cancer of mine finds its cure in death, Death merely of mind, and not of breath For I hold the key to the realisation of dreams But know not why so perished I still seem. Tell me mirror, why do you have me be Why all you do is laugh at me, Mirror, tell me you cry for me When you laugh at me. Hours go by, still lost in you my hollowness, Seeking a way out of all my profound adroitness, For they will aid my efforts through, But I keep lamenting what’s not even true. Now I realise it’s you who directs the show, But act only too ignorant, don’t you my alter ego Tell me you pity my worthless brilliance, When you sadistically enjoy your rule over my conscience, Mirror, tell me you cry for me When you laugh at me.
