The Smile That Wasn’t Mine
A mirror stands, so tall, so wide,88Please respect copyright.PENANAyTLH1ptgsj
reflecting all I feel inside.88Please respect copyright.PENANAyuGx0ZUkI1
I smile—it smiles—but not the same,88Please respect copyright.PENANA4pAypq3uGZ
its lips don’t move, yet speak my name.
I tilt my head, it stays in place,88Please respect copyright.PENANAXlGuP2592m
a mask of mine upon its face.88Please respect copyright.PENANAFL3MNCdzSH
I blink—too late—the glass is thin,88Please respect copyright.PENANAzmlr39BxRd
it pulls me close, it pulls me in.
And now I watch, behind the shine,88Please respect copyright.PENANAWGbUmI0FNJ
a smile that wasn’t truly mine.
