Dear My Mirror

**Dear My Mirror,**

****

**When did you first start to break?**

**When did those first cracks appear,**

**Dancing across your surface like spiderwebs,**

**Splitting the face of the girl you hold?**

****

**I think I recognize her,**

**Maybe before the cracks marred her features,**

**I think she was put together,**

**A level head and strong heart,**

**She knew exactly who she was,**

**And who she wanted to be.**

****

**Now that I think about it,**

**I know everything about every part of that girl.**

**So when did you ensnare her,**

**In your web of cracks and pressure?**

**Was she running,**

**Into your open embrace?**

**Or hiding?**

**When did I lose her?**

****

**Because I could’ve sworn I knew her,**

**But I’m not sure of anything anymore.**

****

**When did you first start cracking, my mirror?**

**And could you tell me,**

**How to patch those cracks?**

**And maybe,**

**Maybe,**

**Somehow find this girl,**

**Lost in her own reflection?**

****

**Sincerely,**

** A Friend**
