Cracked Mirror

Into the looking glass I peer

not to see a maiden so dear,

but instead to spit on my reflection

disgusted by my imperfection.

I changed my face today

to hopefully wash my sorrows away,

but instead I saw the same person

only tainted and broken.

My hands are bloody, my eyes soar

the nihilist laughs at my own fall,

the optimist now a cripple

shudders when she looks at her devil.

Once we laughed and sang

how I wish we were back to how it began,

I was once the hope and the light

now I regret taking that awful bite.

Into the looking glass I peer

not to see a maiden so dear,

but instead to spit on my reflection

disgusted by my imperfection.
