Mirrors are an illusion.
Elusive and unwilling, they hide the truth
Fogging our minds with false promises.
I look deep within —
a bright aura with promise unfilled
She’s taunting me,
lying and filling my head with delusion.
But we both know the truth —
This foundation is crumbling,
the load it must bear is crippling.
I fear the worst,
This illusion can’t last forever
Eventually we all must fall.
