I stare at them
And they stare back
As if they know me;
It is a mirror
After all,
So I suppose they do.
But sometimes,
Sometimes
They look puzzled,
Disappointed
At my curiosity.
We are friends,
They seem to say,
No need to look away;
I cannot read
Your thoughts;
I am your thoughts.
Don’t be frightened
If you don’t remember;
I am you.
There is no world
Behind the glass
Where people live.
I leave
When you leave;
I smile
Only
When you smile;
I know
Only
What you know.
There is no magic
Here.
