Mirror Mirror on the Wall

*couldn't find Two Souls Intertwined so here*

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Sit and watch me take my fall.
Reflect the world right back to me and mock me against it all.

When you see your love for me is singing gaily
All I hear is a personification
You’ll tire of me soon.

But that one where everything is the same
As it fades-the lion’s mane possesses fame
