Mirrors



My father once told me
When I was a little child
That all there is behind mirrors
Is silver and the wall.

Yet why do I see in the mirror
A distant silhouetted shadow
With yellow gleaming eyes
And rotting grey hands?

Oh devils and demons
Coming to take me away
I dare not close my eyes
Or they'll step out and seize me.

Turn the mirror around
And all there is behind mirrors
Is blood and the wall.
