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**
