A Mirror - Astonishingly Dull Actor

The world is a stage and a mirror is astonishingly dull actor
No expression, no attitude, no charm, no superstar factor
Standing in the corner, not flinching, continuing normal act
No change in costume, no makeup, what’s there to react

It was bored, I was bored, brought it home to quench my aloof
A mimic it was, brilliantly reflected my mood, in lies the proof
Reciprocated my anger silently, a stare back to my aimless stare
Out of loneliness came companionship, we were the perfect pair

I was the perfect actor on the stage of world until I was normal
I fell for you, replaced the mirror with your photo and I was abnormal
I kept talking to you, poured my emotions, you were not the mirror
Unresponsive you were, the meaning of loneliness became clearer

The world is a stage and I am an astonishingly dull actor
I could not play my part well, I failed to live up to my character
I was lonely, but not this much, the mirror was lonely, but not this much
Our pair was broken by your charm, we were content as such
