The Shadow in the Mirror

When I look into a mirror
Not only do I see my face but I see a shadow
I jump back in horror

Something slipped in from the corridor
Someone passed by the window
When I look into a mirror

Swirling round I slam closed the open door
There can be no one else in the chateau
I jump back in horror

Could this be deaths methaphor
Understand there is no light to show
When I look into a mirror

I fear some kind of psychewar
My concious and unconsious are having a row
I jump back in horror

Did I made an error
Does the light actually glow?
When I look into a mirror
I jump back in horror
