Poem: Mirror

This is an old poem that I wrote probably about a decade ago. It's definitely one of my favorites.

everytime I look at your eyes, I see your fears

you look as if you're so near to tears

your face is worn from pain and stress

your eyes are red and dry

i see that many thoughts are in press

you've just finished with a good cry

you look like you want out

you want to go to him

yet you know it's not the right route

your light has gone dim

your face tells me all i need to know

and as i notice forming tears

i see, perhaps, time's the only cure

now i see,

i'm looking back

at me.
