Mirror mirror on the wall <br />Who is the fairest of them all? <br /> <br />***** <br />I look at you and I see <br />The person I never wanted to be <br />You come close and I smell <br />The sinful abyss in which you dwell <br /> <br />Your eyes they show a part of your soul <br />An empty carcass no longer whole <br />This place where your heart was supposed to be <br />You lost it the day you set your demon free <br /> <br />Look at you, you have come so far <br />The audacity to ask who you are <br />Dear mirror mirror on the wall <br />Who is the cruelest of them all? <br /> <br />***** <br />But oh dear mirror, is hope a crime <br />This longing for something that was never mine <br />What could I do when this world shred <br />To a million pieces as till my last I bled <br /> <br />I cannot see the person I have become <br />Let bygones be bygones, the past cannot be undone <br />This emptiness inside me this gaping hole <br />My insides they burn the skeleton of my soul <br /> <br />Look at me now, please stop this pain <br />Don’t let this strong façade go in vain <br />So tell me now, dear mirror on the wall <br />Who is the victim from amongst them all?<br /><br />Ridah Ellahi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mirror-on-the-wall-recommended/
