Girl in the Mirror

My fingers reach in front of me
Reaching for the one I see
Why does she not reach back
What does she have that I lack
All the answers lay in her eye
I can not reach her though I try
Her lips are twisted in a secret grin
Why will she not just let me in
Her secret world is dark like mine
There seems to be no sense of time
Why does she keep mocking me
This girl in the mirror that I see
