The Smile That Wasn’t Mine
A mirror stands, so tall, so wide,63Please respect copyright.PENANAk70xa93UTm
reflecting all I feel inside.63Please respect copyright.PENANAxTNRzEwjle
I smile—it smiles—but not the same,63Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZHWuITI3B
its lips don’t move, yet speak my name.
I tilt my head, it stays in place,63Please respect copyright.PENANAaXQIilscT3
a mask of mine upon its face.63Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ULm1dItv
I blink—too late—the glass is thin,63Please respect copyright.PENANAjW4kuOohMG
it pulls me close, it pulls me in.
And now I watch, behind the shine,63Please respect copyright.PENANAEHwiOWsZjX
a smile that wasn’t truly mine.
