Creep

The shards left of the mirror still defy me While you stand shining beside me Radiant, you're radiant and glorious I lurk towards the shadows to hide me But I steal a fragment of the mirror The silver glass I love and despise I sit all alone in the corner And glare at my reflection with weeping eyes I creep in the shadows that hide me It seems a fitting word now, creep. For while you smile in daytime and nighttime I'm unforgivably rotten even in my sleep. Would things be better if I stayed to myself? Would it change if you left me alone? No. I'd still have the image of your perfection Haunting my every nerve and bone
