The world behind my mirror

(rewrite of a poem i wrote a while ago)

I see her every day

Always that same face

Those same sad eyes

As if I expected them to change

Why does she never smile?

She seems so mysterious

The thoughts behind her eyes…

Does she ever wonder?

She never says anything

Only silence

I look into her eyes

Searching for her meaning

The reason she exists

Always in that same place

Never tries to leave

But doesn’t want to stay

I’m just watching

Searching for someone I should know

Why does she seem like a stranger?

What lies behind her look

What secrets does she hide

I should be looking at me

But I wonder if I am

I feel like there’s so much more

Is she really me?

Or is she just a shadow

Just a reflection of someone else

What if I’m somewhere deeper?

Hidden somewhere unknown

In the world of reflections

Every time I look in a mirror

I look for someone else

Is there a reason why?

I don’t think it’s real

Just another illusion

Like everything around me

But then who am I?

Am I the reflection?

The reflection of the girl in my mirror

I feel like nothing more

Just wandering this world of dreams

Where nothing else seems real

There’s one person I want to meet

The one behind my mirror

Standing on the other side

Who looks in a mirror

And sees me

Wondering who I am

And why I’m here
