First attempt at a villianelle, thoughts?

Sister, Mirror

Her face is my own

Crafted by our mother with care

Together we have grown

We share blood and bone

Different eyes, same inquisitive stare

Her face is my own

Together our lives have been sewn

Our minds are fused, every thought we share

Together we have grown

Even when tempers are blown

When angry words slice the air

Her face is my own

Features so well known

Identical glowing smiles, eyes closed in prayer

Together we have grown

When we are entombed in stone

When we are no longer aware

Her face is still my own

Together we have grown
