My Eyes, Your Mirror

What do you see when you look at me?
My eyes, your mirror.
Can you cope with your reflection?

I listen as your lies hurt those closest to you.
Flames of deceit, burning, blazing.
Is your soul as empty as your words?

The things you’ve said and done
Weave a patchwork of the person you are.
Have you run out of thread?

The toxic miasma of your own mind suffocates you
Drowning, choking on your own thoughts and dreams
Do you remember how to breathe?

You used to walk with me
Yet now, you choose to walk alone, instead.
Are you sure that you remember your way?

The flame of your life’s candle flickers
It sputters and dims in the wake of your past
Do you have a reason to keep it alight?
