You Look at Me, and See Nothing Back

I have been through years and years,
But the spot you are looking at is the only fault.
You look at me,
But you see nothing back.

You have no idea what history and what people I have seen,
But all those people just see me as an oxidized crack.
You look at me,
But you see nothing back.

I have built up rust and dust,
But that doesn't matter because I am still just a crack.
You look at me,
But you see nothing back.

A big shiny mirror,
Isn't so shiny with a dark mysterious indent.
You look at me,
But you see nothing back.

People look at themselves in the mirror,
But when they try to see something through me they can never see themselves.
You look at me,
And see nothing back.

The point of view of this piece is important in the crack on the window because if it weren't, there wouldn't be any of the adjectives about the crack. If it were written in the point of view of a person looking at the crack, there wouldn't be more then a mere sentence about the crack.
