see the black and white
love the body
loved the mind
but my heart got left behind
not important, so you say
(I feel it 'til this very day)
never knew you
knew you both
(didn't like the second one, though)
learned from you
that I could love
(against all expectation)
learned from you
that I could die
(unneeded revelation)
can't face yourself?
can't face me?
chained in shadows
you will be
trapped forever, mirror-frighted
for all your rationality
not so easy, not so fast
this letting go of such a past
only now do I see true
you the coward, through and through
bring the mirror, and what I see:
someone who feels as deep as me
someone I love, and thought I knew
and raised my expectations to
deep the hurt, sharp the pain
learning I was wrong. . . again
