The mirror is my worst enemy

Every time I glance at it a shadow looks back

A person I used love and admire

Now gives me a piercing gaze, we're both about to crack

Instantly I can pick out all its flaws

To everyone else it's fine, but to me it's revolting

I long for it to disappear

But each day all I see the same tired face, always disappointing

It's all alone, but I can't bring myself to comfort it

Together we may be able to change, but where do I even start

My desire has already been dulled

So now we stand like strangers, forever apart
