Literature Text

Every day I see her in the mirror;
I stare into her eyes while I paint my mask.
She moves with me, looks like me,
Yet I haven't recognised her in years.

We have the same eyes that receive a dusing of shadow;
Too small to be beautiful, with long thick lashes,
So dark they fade to black.
Eyes that shimmer with delight.

Her lips are the same shade as mine now;
A sweetheart shaped mouth,
The corners quirking upward in a teasing slant.
Lips that smile with joy.

A light layer of blush to define our cheeks;
High bones to accentuate our face,
Full cheeks to lend a soft caress.
Cheeks that flush with anticipation.

So many features that remain vaguely familiar;
Yet, I don't know this stranger.
And I can't help but wonder,
What she will do with my life today.
