The Mirror

When I was young, I'd watch this film and feel seen by so many eyes

The young look back at me. And they have many eyes
Behind the movie screen
The ingénue is seen
And while you look at her
She sees you in her mirror!

Behind the looking glass
You glimpse her- there's a flash!
And while you look at her
She sees you in her mirror!

Behind the glass she tears away
Behind her now, you stare, you stay
but does she know you love her gaze: her look?

She took
She took your breath like this

Unmade... her chrysalis

And once she undoes "she"

You push and peel to see
Her like she was

Behind the movie screen
The ingénue is seen
And while you look at her
She sees you in her mirror!

Behind the glass she tears away
Behind her now, you stare, you stay
But does she know you love her gaze: her look?

She knows
She knows

She knows you well
She isn't dumb
She knows you well
