***************************************
I was blind,
Till you opened my eyes.
Now what I see frightens me.
… I wish I were blind once more.
When I was blind,
You were a beautiful sight.
Filling my life with joy,
Reminding me of everything
So lovely.
Now I see you.
Though the “you” I knew
Is now gone.
And you are ugly!
YOU’RE HURTING ME!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
…please.
But no matter where I go
You always follow.
Always right there.
Waiting, with your ugly face,
You’re evil eyes!
Trying to prove
I am what I see in you.
You are what you see in me.
Because you’re…
A mirror…
(I’m so afraid)
