I am a Mirror

You breathe so close to me and I become foggy

You look in my eye and I cannot look away

You say that you are unsightly and I show you the truth of how wrong you are

You cry and I cry

You smile and I smile

You laugh and I laugh

You are more real than me

I am a reflection of what is around me

All that you don't see is hidden behind my black backdrop

Without that black shield you would see right through me

I only want to look at you

Look into me and you will see how beautiful you are

And never see beyond the sheen.
