The Smile That Wasn’t Mine
A mirror stands, so tall, so wide,58Please respect copyright.PENANAjvResyiRr6
reflecting all I feel inside.58Please respect copyright.PENANALFuakMYmHJ
I smile—it smiles—but not the same,58Please respect copyright.PENANAocXBTAD4Pa
its lips don’t move, yet speak my name.
I tilt my head, it stays in place,58Please respect copyright.PENANA7UFr8Ndoxb
a mask of mine upon its face.58Please respect copyright.PENANADETRb2SX2A
I blink—too late—the glass is thin,58Please respect copyright.PENANAdQbvHzyYDa
it pulls me close, it pulls me in.
And now I watch, behind the shine,58Please respect copyright.PENANA8rGckvDvBb
a smile that wasn’t truly mine.
