If you can’t see my mirrors
I can’t see you
If you can’t see my mirrors
I can’t see you
Because I am so self-absorbed
I only see the reflection
The image I try to keep and you never get close to the real me
You reach out and touch
But there is only glass
and you can’t even tell there’s a smoke screen
to keep you from seeing clearly.
if you get too close
I shatter
That’s what happened last time
the last time I was touched
I saw the hand reaching
it smashed through
And shattered me
I only see a reflection of you
Of course, you are standing right next to me
All I have to do is turn
But then my eyes wouldn’t be on the mirror
or on myself anymore
I would have to stop being so self-absorbed for that
To really see you
But you’re looking in the mirror too
You know it’s a mirror, right?
Because if you can’t see my mirrors, I can’t see you
