Don’t look.
Just walk right by-
Quickly
Before your eyes lock
On the reflection
That isn’t yours.
She looks like you,
But she’s grinning a toothy smile
While your lips are pressed tight.
Her gaze holds you-
And before you know it
You’re leaning closer…
Hands reach out from the glass
Grab you
Force your head to make impact with the mirror-
Shattering
Rings in your ears as
Your
World
Crashes
Down
Around
You…
