Mirror II

Why do you keep lying to me?

Why, mirror, don’t you show me the truth?

Where did you get this outstanding costume?

Even when bathing this make up doesn’t disappear…

Mirror, mirror, tell me how

How did you get this skin to cover my bones

And this reddish shade to color it all

Why do you show me life…?

Why, mirror, do you keep following me

In every window, in every empty glass

Why do you chase me with this unfamiliar face?

That’s not how you should hurt me

And why now, dear mirror,

You answer me no more?

Have I become deaf to your subtle advices?

Why I don’t hear myself anymore…?
