I looked in the mirror today,
i don't do it often unless I'm putting on makeup,
But i actually looked,
My room was dim and the time hit 4am,
I had the bright idea of looking,
I wish i didnt,
My face wasn't my own,
You could see the pain,
The eye bags weighing heavy all the tears left uncried,
I wasn't myself anymore,
I was barely a corporeal form of myself,
The shadow of you haunting behind me,
Its the only time i see you now,
In the darkness of my room,
With no where to hide
