Lyrics
The light’s on.
Just enough.
The glass is clean
The room is still
My face arrives
Before I do
I lift my hand
It stays where it is
Like it’s deciding
What to keep
My eyes feel level
My breath feels right
But something’s waiting
In the look
It isn’t late
It isn’t slow
It just doesn’t follow
What I know
It doesn’t copy me
It watches
It doesn’t blink
When I do
It doesn’t copy me
It’s patient
Like it already
Knows the moves
I lean in close
The glass feels cold
The distance doesn’t change
My mouth is closed
It almost smiles
Like it’s rehearsed
My name
I don’t see damage
I don’t see wrong
Just something
Staying
If I step back
It doesn’t leave
If I stay still
It studies me
It doesn’t copy me
It waits
Right where I would be
It doesn’t copy me
It’s learning
How much of me
Is free
I try to break eye contact
The room feels taller
I try to turn away
It feels closer
I don’t see a monster
I see intent
And that’s when
I stop checking
I move.
It doesn’t.
It doesn’t copy me
It never did
I was wrong
About how mirrors work
It doesn’t copy me
It remembers
Every time
I looked first
I turn off the light.
The glass stays warm.
