She fancied herself rather grandish
But truly, her looks were outlandish
She would never be Snow
And this did irk her so
Broken mirror, now seven years blandish

He watched himself change, in an odd kind of way
Would never go out, nor show his face in the day
His hunger was ravenous, but not for food, I’m afraid
Though you’d think it hideous, it was what he craved
An image of who he once was, a reflection, despised
Checking the mirror, again, he adjusted his disguise
Candlelight flickering, cast an eerier glow on his face
Finally understanding, why he was bound to this place
And when it hit him, raging, like a wild, relentless flood
He knew what he needed, was another human’s blood

I wanted to be sympathetic
Her eyes glazed over in tears
I wanted to comfort her through it
But I couldn’t get rid of the fears
She’d battled so many demons
They kept at her, time and again
Hopelessly, she had given up
There was no way she could win
She glanced at me in the mirror
I looked away, I couldn’t take it
Why did this always happen to me?
Is there a chance I’ll never make it?
I’ve wiped away tears, forgotten the fears
Though it happens, on and off, through the years
Dry are my eyes, I’ve stifled the cries
But never shall I be able to sympathize

Locked inside this pane of glass
The world is just outside my grasp
No one seems to see me here
I’m lost forever, this I fear
Stuck inside, this isolation
There is no hope, for my salvation
For those that I have sinned against
This is how I’m recompensed
Kept hidden, though I know not where
The mirror reflects, my own despair

Adorned, I hide my face
Inside this mask of blue
Silver painted, decorated
To keep myself from view
Where no one knows about me
Or wonders who I am
I’ll blend in, pretend again
When I’m really just a sham
You once stood by my side
Unmasked and unafraid
I didn’t learn, and now I yearn
Twas you that I betrayed
In the mirror, my reflection
Glances back at me, I sigh
For my eyes can see, in reality
I’m the one who said goodbye
