Mirror, mirror on the wall
Why did you break and fall?
You shattered and cracked
And would never come back

A crack in the middle
Right where my face should be
You showed me a beauty
That I wish I could see

You slipped out my hand
In the air, you did a dance
You showed everything I wanted to be
As you broke screaming "Help Me!"

I couldn't catch you in time
And your demise felt like a crime
As you fell I felt sadder
My mirror, why did you shatter?
