Looking Glass

In the looking glass I see A stranger there or is it me Curly hair and pale blue eyes An honest face or a disguise To hide the hollowness inside No life there yet still alive Not decayed but never filled Moving on by act of will Looking for a way to breach This glass that keeps us out of reach Which side of the glass am I PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE I hoarsely cry If you walk away from me Will I simply cease to be?
