I tried to see,

if sin subsided in the mirror

and only reflected

into my reality.

It looked at me

and copied my life

until it's hands

moved on alone.

I tried to see,

if my reflection

would respond back to me

and curse out the truth.

It pulled at me

and tried to bring me

into a place

opposite of now.

I tried to see,

if breaking the glass

would shatter a parallel lie

to blur a second time.

It had killed me

and left my corpse

in the transparent wall

to take my place in the world.
