oh that cursed mirror.

[shotgunsarah]

i cannot place the hurt,
she hides it so well.
her earthy eyes are condemned to reflect nothing.
but i see, i see,
as the wind unfurled her sooty-black hair,
an instant where she let her guard down
and remorse crossed her faced just once.
she glanced up to the mirror again,
Alas!
I stand behind that cursed mirror,
and she stares back,
surprised as well.
