Mirror

Who the hell are you?
Yes you
The thing that dare glare back at me
If you are someone I should recognize
I certainly can't see
Yet you oddly seem familiar
Though there are no guarantees
That somehow, somewhere
We have met before
Was it maybe in my dreams
I despise that awful frown you wear
Darling smiles I much adore
Those shoulders set astute and square
Like a soldier being sent to war
And your eyes, they're cold as ice my dear
Are your lean hands clenched in fists
Did something tragic happened to you this year
Or have you lost your way to church

But seriously, who the hell are you
I swear we must have met
I have scanned my memory old and new
But recovered nothing yet
Dare I say it may seem that I used to know
A different side of you
Might it be that not so long ago
You have changed and I had no clue
Does your heart now harbor bitterness
When before it was kind and warm
A smile so cute and generous
Hands welcoming and strong
Have you spoken words soft and sensible
Yet now always harsh and cruel
Were your eyes once soft and gentle
But now nothing if a hardened jewel

So tell me who the hell you are
Where on this green earth have you been
Have you suffered some
Do you bear a scar
Was there something terrible your eyes have seen
Still one fact remains unclear
The only truth  that I long to hear
How your stupid jaw carved out of stone
Resembles no one I have ever known
With half a century nearly gone
I really should be sure
So who the bloody hell are you
Why on earth would you wear my face
Where for goodness sake have you buried me
To put your dark and heinous self
Squarely in my place
