Man Behind the Mirror

Gazing into the mirror's reflection,  
I encounter a peculiar figure observing me.  
Resembling me so closely,  
Yet emanating a distinct essence.  
 
I ponder the connection I sense,  
His difference conflicting with my yearning.  
I envision an altered version of myself,  
Until I confront reality in the mirror's discerning.  
 
Engaging in conversations with the mirrored self,  
Silence echoes, for he utters no reply.  
Yet, his eyes convey a disdainful sneer,  
As if I am a flaw, a fracture to the eye.
