Demon Inside

Can you see the mirror man watching, looking at you 
He stares at you coldly with piercing dark eyes 
He wants you to notice the pain inside  
trapped, unwanted, suffering 

He is there at every glance 
Lurking in your shadow 
He has no mouth 
so you can’t hear 
the screams that go on 
between his ears 

Can you feel the mirror man watching, looking at you 
Your too engrossed 
With looking your most 
You don’t seem to notice the chill  
tiny hairs stand up on your skin, giving you goosebumps 

He follows you room to room 
not missing your reflection, 
He hears your every thoughts, thrives off imperfections 

Can you hear the mirror man watching, looking at you 
He bangs his fists frantically 
waiting for the cracks 
Beware!, do not smash 
The mirror that hides his sordid past
