Mirrors tell no lies  The undeniable truth that I defy  Tainted tears run from my eyes  Leaving and incurable  Emptiness inside  Reflecting my inner demons  That insidious disease  Never forgotten  Engraved in endless time    With my last short breath  I utter these words  The light of day is too far in the distance  I shall choose the path  Of least resistance    How can I look at myself  Without respect  The part I need to reflect  In the mirror  Is the only part I neglect  No pity in dishonesty  No hope inside of me  The incurable flesh wound of time  I would hope to see  My tattered reflection
