A LIE

--ILHAM-

I looked into the mirror

to read myself

trying hard

but the face wouldnt speak out

ever the same

But,I could see those eyes

they said something sad

pleading for something,

something very tender

Wanting to help

my fingers lept

to wipe those tears

but the polished mirror wouldnt let.

I tried to smile

as radiant as it could ever be

to dry up those tears.

Yes ,true...

The smile was weird

and ugly too

But I was desperate to help

and now the tears were gone!

I felt my heart

beating as hard as ever

A protest or a warning??

Be it either,

Knowing that it would silence one day

I walked away from the mirror.
