Numbah Twenty Eight - Looking In The Mirror

I see a girl

who wants to be

loved more than

anything.

I see a child

looking back at me

with wide, adoring eyes.

So young, so hopeful.

I see a woman

smiling a cracked grin,

hair blown back and

a happy, naive heart.

I see a teenager,

lost + confused,

angry and frustrated

yet do full of unnerved optimism.

I see two green eyes

staring back at me

with such a tender curiosity

and slight satisfaction.

I see a girl,

and the reflection bounces back.

It smacks me

right upside the head.

I see ambition,

no motivation.

I see love, lust,

lots of confusion.

I see images of

brown eyes,

strong embraces

and interlacing fingers.

I see a blue eyed girl,

tears streaming

down her perfect face

as she raises the blade.

I see a pair, a couple

being ying and yang,

complete equilibrium

in each other's souls.

Two green eyes

contain so many

memories, so many

secrets.
