Magic Mirror



Objects in this mirror are drifting farther 

Locked eyes, inching away as I move 


So I ask, Magic Mirror on the wall

Who's the farthest of them all?

Famed are the stories of sun and moon

Skies and the colossal galaxies

But hold, a strange mess I sense

Smiles can't hide away the pretense


Alas, it is thy soul, majesty

I'm afraid it's a miserable reality 

Your chest reeks of rotten memories

Of days you kept yourself alive

Remember no amount of fake gets through me

Pain leaks from your broken shield of glee


Corpse-like now, are you even conscious?

Forgotten dreams, you were once ambitious 

I should take offense, such a mockery 

Even though I can't agree more 

I haven't been myself for years alike

I've become exactly what I used to dislike


So I ask, Magic Mirror on the wall

Would you help me finally recall?

My morning giggles and breezy days

Soothing evenings and misty nights

Haste never let me pause but now I'll restore

Thank you Mirror, I want to love myself more
