"Mirror, mirror on the wall
Reflect me better or not at all."
"Is this not your dread, your fear
When a loved one's death seems near?
Is this not your bodily ache,
A sleep from which you'd love to wake
But for the knowledge that, at least,
Your heart is safe from fast and feast?"
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall
You lie! For that's not me at all."
"Is this is not your soft, spoiled soul,
Happy in your childish role?
Vague fantasies of another life,
A fuller one, with joy and strife,
Will never come to anything real
While time goes by with no reveal."
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Take good care! Or you might fall."
"Are you not from the same stuff made
As I? The image will not fade.
I will reflect your true self well:
Whether paradise or hell.
And when in fear you shrink from me
Remember I'm what you choose to be."
"Mirror, mirror, smashed to bits
You'd have driven me from my wits
But swiftly I have silenced you:
Your words were unpalatable, if true.
Never will you reflect again
The long-ignored, enduring pain,
The loneliness suppressed too late,
The futile search for a soul-mate,
The eyes that with suspicion glance
At every fortune, every chance.
Goodbye, my loving looking-glass.
I have no pity for you, poor lass."
