The Mirror

The mirror reveals,
Many things,
How tall,
How small,
A path to within.

The fractures,
And breaks,
Different through eyes,
Cracks shine through,
The life withers,
There’s everything,
To despise.

A smile,
Seems broken,
Expressionless,
No fear.

Brown eyes,
If bright,
Colour drains,
No light.

No words,
If said,
Take doubt of mind,
Away,
Leaving love useless,
Consumed with despair.

But love is strong,
The gaze stays there,
The hope arises,
Of a future day,
When the mirror shows,
The beauty that lays.
