My Reflection Beyond the Mirror

Mirror, mirror upon the wall who is the prettiest girl one of all?
Mirror, mirror why do you lie? Forcing me to hide all these nasty scars of mine?
Forwards, backwards, I tumble before I notice the subtle colour my eyes have become.
My lips are swollen and so dry from all the blood that has stained them from the past that I had left behind.
Bleed, bleed, bleed is all I say in the back of my mind.
Sorrowful eyes stare back at mine.
Shattered glass has scraped my skin upon my hands.
I gaze into the reflection that stares back at me.
Mirror, mirror shall I ever be beautiful?
I look to you for the softness of the light.
All the while I find darkness instead of the light.
Subtle glances have been given to me while all I share is bitter coldness instead of hate.
Loving your glass is all I can do until I notice you are fading and telling me I shall be here for a very long time.
Mirror, mirror must I fret? With all these chains that I am bound to or so I dread.
I shall not be scared instead I shall be scarred with all these nasty words I hear from afar.
I shall not hide; I shall not die.
Oh, please mirror, mirror upon the wall please do not leave me at all.
Do not leave me in tears or shame, it is you who has become my jailor and friend.
Jealously comes with a heavy price.
But so does love and so does life.
Mirror, mirror upon the wall please do not shame me anymore, not at all.
Mirror, mirror upon the wall when will this fairy tale end for us all?
