Mirrors
He caught my eye as I walked by
at first I didn’t know him
His hair was thin and winkled skin
I was sure I didn’t know him
His eyes where hollow, his mind would follow
I didn’t want to know him
He shook his head, I filled with dread
I pretended not to know him
I tried to hide, he stayed beside
I screamed “I don’t know him”
As I stared at graying hair
I pleaded not to know him
But years go by and mirrors don’t lie
I’ll have to get to know him.
