The Smile That Wasn’t Mine
A mirror stands, so tall, so wide,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE5b4qbAnS
reflecting all I feel inside.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjUDvar4mU
I smile—it smiles—but not the same,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIPhziLiiv
its lips don’t move, yet speak my name.
I tilt my head, it stays in place,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1a0mcl7YQ
a mask of mine upon its face.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABClcxl22Y
I blink—too late—the glass is thin,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwAfLgWmml
it pulls me close, it pulls me in.
And now I watch, behind the shine,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkwJx96JOS
a smile that wasn’t truly mine.
