The one I once knew

Has perished

I buried her

Long ago

Beside every headstone

Hiding all

Left behind

She's no longer

Looking back

Derived from a

Reflection

So long ago

Stand proud

Stand strong

Remain heartfelt

And endearing

Time is not much

When I feel

The reflection

With someone

I dream of

Minuscule yet present

Interactions are finest

I think of

This abroad

New love

A new lover

In the mirror

As she danced with me

And we leave

My burdens

Buried behind

She is a dancer

I stand a dreamer

She informs

I remain a poet

Thinking of her love

While she asks me

Favors

Miles away she will be

Though I thrive

More distant from

The girl I burned

Buried beneath

Old era works

Than a lover

I wish to see

Miles always she will remain

Until she returns to me

Or I rise to her

I found a piece

Of my heart

In the mirror

Upon seeing her dance

Mesmerizing

A hypnotist

She truly was

Miles away she will be

And upon reflection

The girl who perished before me

Will smile back

Guiding me

For she is proud

Miles away

I found my heart

In the mirror

I am

The mirror.
