Some people haven't any mirrors in their homes,
it's as if they aren't alone.
In the nights where shadows run free,
often from the portholes of the mirror they watch me.
Eyes of red yet shimmery reflecting all light.
they have a way of sucking out life.
You will hear them not, yet they enter with ease,
and to the child within the night take them as they please.
No one saw or heard a thing.
not even the child now caught within the sling.
The space between the mirror and the depths from within,
and no one sees or hears your screams as they look in.

It was okay... Honestly, I don't find it scary. The rhyming seems a bit off, I don't know, It's not as appealing as others I've read. Good Luck though!

Definantly scary, using mirrors as a tool is great because everyone has them everywhere. Loved the discription.
