The Girl in the Mirror
I see the girl in the mirror every day
Only now she looks different
Her hair is longer
Her teeth are straighter
Her eyes have become lighter
I see her collarbone
It sticks out making her shoulders more shapely
I feel her skin as she reaches out of the mirror
Her soft fingers move down my face and through my hair
Her laugh is softer than mine, happier, prettier
I freeze as her lips open to speak
Her words spill out of her mouth, her lips, pink and soft
“I’m sorry,” she said. “I'm sorry you don’t look like you anymore”
I stand, frozen, as if she has stolen my voice and all sense of emotion
I watch her eyes dance around my body
The girl grabs my hands and pulls herself out of the mirror
She stands in front of me, her eyes inches above mine
Her clothes perfectly resting on her figure
Her hips sway as she walks behind me and pushes me into the mirror
And I float through the glass, stuck inside the mirror, becoming her reflection
