Man in the mirror

Looked into his eyes
had the slithering look of a snake
looked at his face
had the vileness of the devil
felt his heart beat
could hear the booming loath
heard him breath
had the fire of hell in them
he was the man in the mirror
and I got scared of him
the ugliest of all that live
the scariest of all that move
the meanest of all that breath
If only I could
turn him inside out
make a hide of his skin
hang his guts to dry
let his flesh rot
let his eyes by gouged
let his heart fry
and keep him alive
to bear all this agony
would he have paid
the penance in part
