The Mirror’s Game

What you see isn’t what you get. In the mirror, I shift with every blink, every desire, every chase. Come closer. But know this: You will never possess me. I am the game you’ll lose, the reflection you’ll never understand.

You wanted the girl who would melt in your hands,

Gentle eyes, soft words, someone who understands.

But you don’t know, do you? The sweetness you crave

Is makeup, a mirage, just a way to behave.

You see her cotton tees, her smile, her charm.

You think that’s what you want, but it’s just a calm.

What you really want is the chaos behind,

The heat, the fire, the mind you can’t find.

You think you can tame me, make me yours,

But I’m the wild storm that erodes your shores.

In diamonds and lace, I burn as I please,

The woman you’ll never truly appease.

You dream of innocence, of peace in my touch,

But my kiss is a flame, and you’ll burn too much.

I will whisper your desires, make you believe

That I am the thing you can never leave.

I’ll toy with your mind, just enough to confuse,

Like an echo of something you’ve never quite used.

I’ll pull you close, then vanish, then tease,

Making you ache for what you can’t seize.

Your love is a pawn in my game of reflection,

A dance of misdirection, a cruel resurrection.

What you think you want is not what I give.

I’ll lead you in circles and make you believe.

You’re falling for the mirror, the shadow,

Losing your mind, you can’t let go.

You reach for me, but I slip through your grasp.

I am the puzzle that you’ll never unclasp.

Tomorrow, I’ll wear another disguise,

A different face, a new set of lies.

You’ll never know what’s real, what’s true,

You’ll just keep chasing me, thinking I’m you.

So don’t try to claim me or make me yours.

I am the mistress behind closed doors.

In your head, in your veins, in the crack of your smile,

I’ll haunt your thoughts and stay for a while.
