I'd reckon it's a metaphor for two people. One, the white mirror, is very open-hearted and trusting to everyone, but is very vulnerable to negativity from others, and is as such, shattered after it takes enough "blackness" from the other mirror. The other, the black mirror, is someone who comes across as cold and hostile, but only to try to protect their inner vulnerability and insecurity. So when things become difficult for these two people (the hot sun), the black mirror person did something unkind and emotionally destroyed the other person. But seeing that they had done this, they themselves were devastated, because they really did care about the other person. This could have been the breaking point of a troubled friendship or even a relationship. Over time, they put up emotional barriers against each other, no longer caring for each other, and became more enemies than friends. It's a story of a lost emotional bond.
Does it have to have a meaning, though? You can certainly write an interesting story just because you enjoy the art itself, without having to make a point. I do like what I perceive as the meaning, but I find that the best way to create meaning in a story is to let it grow organically.

Thanks a lot. I can tell you're pretty well studied at this kinda thing. I did certainly enjoy the writing of the story, but I felt there was a meaning there, maybe one I couldn't find through a single thought process. I guess I just needed an outside perspective, as to not become accidentally locked into having a single, solitary message that could deter anyone from drawing their own meaning. I wanted the reader to see if they could find the best message that can help them out of an emotional trench, through a no man's land of negativity, into a brighter, better feeling. I guess I couldn't find a meaning because the meaning was to find your own.
