A shard of a mirror,
A piece of a glass,
A reflective, smooth surface,
I pray this will last.
A pale face inside it,
The eyes, empty pits,
The shadow reflected,
Just quietly sits.
I used to love mirrors,
Translucent and true,
Until they deceived me,
And showed something new.
Can you even trust them?
Their lies and their ways?
Peer into their surfaces,
Days after days...?
A sliver of wet glass,
A slice of a shard,
There once was a time,
When looking wasn't so hard.
