mirrored chess

i now see a little bit of your beauty when i look at myself in the mirror. no matter how much hatred i have for myself, i can't help but to love myself in that moment-
it's due to the fact that i love you.
you cure my inner curiosity of a true love for myself, a love for anything at all honesty.
my eyes remain closed as i remember how my eyes used to mirror yours, how you stole my distress and i finally lost the everlasting game of so-called chess.
not including a mirrored surface, you've now lost your sole purpose.
unable to move backward on captures or moves, ill forever be a pawn within your closed views.
