I am a dark room:
curtains drawn,
mirror made meaningless, I think “meaningless” is too neutral a word for what the mirror seems to imply
consciousness defiled by the unconscious. since “the unconscious” is unconscious it´s hard for the subject to know (or for the reader to understand) what it did and why .. so, I´d try to name the not so unconscious thing. forbidden desires, fear, whatever
You are the light
shining against my window, maybe write something with a little less separation, e.g. “shining through my door” (otherwise temptation seems somehow misplaced )
hot like temptation. hot "light" would be infrared.. just a thought
