Mirror of Obsession

July 28, 2015 by Jim Desiderati

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, tell me I’m the best of all

Show me perfect, show me best
show me that I beat the rest
show me what I want to see
your the dearest thing to me

beautiful expression, captive naked eye
mirror of obsession, vanity runs high
tenderly conditioned, handsome sculpturing
total fascination, gifted everything

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, pay attention when I call

Show me wisdom, show me class
show me first, but never last
show me what I want to see
your the only love for me

Magical reflection, why do you resist
Mirror of obsession, change now I insist
master of impression, make me shine and glow
cover my confession, hide my inner soul

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, free my soul before I fall

Show me pity, show me shame
show me that I am to blame
show me what I want to see
show my heart and let me be

Mirror of suggestion, guide me truthfully
Mirror of obsession, vanish peacefully
Mirror of protection, cocky, sure, and cool
Mirror of projection, only sees a fool

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, mirror mirror hear my call
