Mirror Mirror

tell me what do you see

who am I ?

I sometimes wonder who is she

Mirror Mirror

Do you love me?

As I look into you I see a reflection of me

I see a little girl who was and can never be

Grown into a woman

There's this older woman sits alone

starring back at me

Mirror Mirror

Hold up!

What is this I see

I turned back trying to figure out why is she me

I study her for awhile

wondering is this suppose to be

Mirror Mirror

your eyes the window of your soul I see

It holds a story that is untold

Mirror Mirror

That image I see

is it my shadow looking back at me?

Oops!

its she who is me?
