The Mirror That Died Yesterday

My old mirror died yesterday,
Broken into thousand pieces,  
I guess it so decayed, 
I let it to rest in peace at last. 

I got myself a new mirror,  
I put it in the same frame, 
Alas and behold this mirror, 
It shows and reflect wrong images.

What has changed I know not, 
Is the old mirror jealous I know not, 
Is the new mirror fake I know not, 
But what I see is me not.

Very cool twist on the dialogue as well as the format
