Mirror Mirror
everyone says i look like my grandmother
here i am face to face with you
looking in the mirror
every twitch
every brush of my hair
it's your face i'm looking at
every tear streaming down my face
you reflect back at me
if only i could see you daily
i wouldn't feel so lost and confused at the image
of myself
if you could only talk
and tell me your worries
your life stories that i never got to hear
you left when i was ten
and i missed out on so much
yet you stare at me in the mirror
with that sweet smile
as if it were still the last time i seen you
then you're gone again!
