I found a mirror on the ground,
it was very old and damaged,
abandoned and lonely on the waste
waiting for someone to come.
The image reflected on it
was dull and blurry,
I wasn't surprised
when the story it told me.
It's owner forgot it in the sand
and the time scratched it's glass hardly.
A few people only ever saw it
but no one cared about it.
Until this little girl came
and kept it like a treasure.
The mirror loved the little girl
for her face was forever in it.
But she got herself a new one
and left the mirror on this waste
with a shattering sadness
and lonelyness noone can understand.
And I see myself on it,
not only my face and feelings.
I think I'll keep this treasure
for this little mirror is me.
