An unknown face smiles at me
Peeping out of the mirror in my bedroom
I don't know who she is,
What she wants
But she somewhat looks like me
Yet so different than me.
I often see her watching me
As I get ready for the day
She smiles at me when I look at her
Confused, I walk away.
When I return to retire
She's still there
Still very fresh as a flower that never wilts
She watches me
As I sit in front of the mirror
And try to see myself in it
I don't know why she's here
And what she wants
Why she never lets me see my own face
I look back at her
To ask the reason why she's here
Seeing the look in my eyes
She vanishes as if she was never here
I then look at another face, ugly this one is
All the pain of the heart etched on the face
I wish she would have not gone
For now I miss her very much
Tears trickle down on my cheeks
As I do not see her for so many weeks
This ugly face, so close to reality
Stares at me and I don't like it
I know now what a fool I was
I have scared her away forever, perhaps
And now my room and my life is so full of ugliness
I just wish she comes back again
And smiles at me
For it's true, though I never said
Seeing her smiling face gave me unknown strength
I want her back
As much as I want to live
Would someone search her for me
And make her believe?
