There are no mirrors

by hayley*virgo - Aquarius

There are no mirrors in hell.
Mirrors are part of the evil that can happen only on earth.
Yes, there are some people here who can pretend
to see their old reflections,
but we all know who it is that can see faces
and who views cheap plastic, melting rubber and cold stone.
That is what I witness;
133 shiny pebbles of rock
and somewhere underneath the surface
a glimmer of blue.
I'm sure you could tell that by looking at me, though.
Just like when I see you smile
as you gaze in your looking glass
and see nose, mouth, eyes, cheeks
and a few beads of persperation
It must be nice to be so real.
But then again, you are only 12
and it is probably just a matter of time
before you look into a compact
and see what this earth has made of you.
