The Smile That Wasn’t Mine
A mirror stands, so tall, so wide,159Please respect copyright.PENANACjPG7m3qyg
reflecting all I feel inside.159Please respect copyright.PENANAyOK98S8oB0
I smile—it smiles—but not the same,159Please respect copyright.PENANAMTq5TpxRmx
its lips don’t move, yet speak my name.
I tilt my head, it stays in place,159Please respect copyright.PENANA6faN1L6EMe
a mask of mine upon its face.159Please respect copyright.PENANAPmkRz6G85p
I blink—too late—the glass is thin,159Please respect copyright.PENANAn1XaRVKUfS
it pulls me close, it pulls me in.
And now I watch, behind the shine,159Please respect copyright.PENANArsoShER4uj
a smile that wasn’t truly mine.
