Mirror mirror, what do I see?
Every time you look at me,
Forwards, backwards every direction,
Each second timed to pure perfection.
Mirror mirror, has my soul betrayed me?
Plunged into darkness, deep depths of despair,
My soul has fled without a care,
‘Come back to me!; I weep, I cry,
My soul has fled, it’s bled, it’s died!
Mirror mirror, who are you?
Silvery sparkle softened in place,
Each serene movement painted with grace,
Identical lips and duplicate eyes,
Mirror mirror, you sometimes tell lies
