The Face In The Mirror

Visage stark and eyes of steel He shares my thoughts and what I feel And seems to know more than I’ve known The face in the mirror sees through me. He knows my faults, my secret sins And bears no mercy without or within Judgement swift cuts to the bone The face in the mirror weighs me Dreams and goals, schemes and plans He shatters with a sneering glance And his silence is the only tone The face in the mirror knows me He measures my worth with soulless stare And soundlessly he lays me bare Worthless his lips appear to moan The face in the mirror shows me He finds me lacking and less each day Though why so harsh he will not say Just a loathing low hushed moan The face in the mirror wounds me His disregard so plain and clear He knows my pain and stokes my fear His twisted lips set the tone The face in the mirror grieves me He arbitrates my very life Slashes my soul with psychic knife His cruelty hard as stone The face in the mirror hates me No escape and no reprieve This simulacrum will never leave His torment won’t let me alone The face in the mirror is me
