In The Mirror

by Brian Rose

There's a girl who stands in the mirror
She looks for the story in her eyes
She follows the curves of her body
Wearing nothing but a naked disguise

I'm in love with the girl in the mirror
I look over her shoulder and stare
She's looking at me as I'm watching her
Running her hands through her hair

On the border of her body
She traces the bumps and the folds
Each open plain and hiding place
Each dark thicket of her soul

I'm in love with the girl in the mirror
In the light so cold and stark
I am drawing the lines of her body
A faint bruise and a pale birthmark

There's a girl who stands in the mirror
She looks for the story in her eyes
She follows the curves of her body
Wearing nothing but a naked disguise

I'm in love with the girl in the mirror
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror
