In the mirror
I see sadness,
And pain.

In the mirror I see the past
And its claim.

In the mirror
I see what he did to me
And the others.

In the mirror
I see force
And hatred.
I see the loss
Of innocence,
And confidence.

In the mirror
I see the darkness
And the dread.

In the mirror
I see the past,
For one last time.

Goodbye evil mirror.
