Mirror, mirror
how you taunt me so,
displaying all my imperfections for the world to see.
Mirror, mirror
you are my greatest bittersweet enemy.
Mirror, mirror
you make me look ugly and fat--
that is what the monsters say.
I beg of you, tell me it's not true!
Surely I don't look like that.
Mirror, mirror
can you feel my misery?
Can you see the despair in my eyes?
Do you notice the fatigue in my bones?
Mirror, mirror
can you see my dark soul,
reflected in my deep brown eyes?
Mirror, mirror
are you able to see my love for him,
how he has changed me?
Mirror, mirror
can you see the beauty inside me that I do not?
You've glimpsed into my soul, seen all its rot--
am I as ugly as I think?
Mirror, mirror
you keep my secrets,
you know my weakness.
We are so intimate, yet without touch.
Mirror, mirror
Is your cold exterior all there is?
If I could reach beyond the glass, what would I find?
Mirror, mirror
are you as sad and lonely as I?
Mirror, mirror
tell me what you see,
that which is unbeknownst to me.
Mirror, mirror
tell me your greatest desire--
show me a story of all that you've seen--
whisper sweet words of comfort to me.
Mirror, mirror
take me into your world,
and show me who I really am.
Will I be surprised, or completely horrified at what I find?
Mirror, mirror
take me now.
I am forever your prisoner,
this is my solemn, everlasting vow.
