Do you see me?

I stare at you - do you see me?
A silver frame surrounds you
Like a prisoner in a cage
Reflecting, resetting, restarting
I stare at you and look at me
My face stained in yours
Your face hidden by me
Our faces colliding - unable to see
I stare at you, silver frame around me
Holding you in my hand
My face is yours, your face is mine
And with me you stand
I stare at you, past and present
Like Snow White’s evil Queen
You are the dark knight’s shining crescent
Moon, looming over- unseen
I stare at you- do you see me?
A clone of me, my twin face- a reflection
Nothing like me at all, just a selection
Of my appearance
