Erised
Like looking in a mirror of
Desire
I saw what I most wanted
Reflecting back at me,
But is it really a reflection if it is not there?
I saw what I most desired
But I never deserved
I was smiling
But in reality I was crying
Erised
Desire
I saw what I most wanted
My hair in perfect curls
But reality showed what a mess I was
Erised
Desire
I was beautiful
In the Mirror of Erised
Something I will never be.
Erised
Desire
