Reflection of Me
You smile back at me in a way that is familiarI beam and you beam back
Happiness at my joy
Sorrow at my loss
Such a comfort
Like looking at my reflection
I saw warmth in our relationship
Generosity, kindness
Thoughtfulness, Attention
Beautiful… Beauty
It took me a long time to figure it out
I was so foolish
What I mistook for you reading me so well
Was my own reflection
You are merely a mirror
A two dimensional image
Incapable of contributing independent feelings
Nothing that is not a reflection of my own
Incapable of giving me what I need
Do I need to keep you around?
Cute bevelled edge
Hanging from a decorative chain
What not?
Why not keep you up on the lounge room wall
People do so admire mirrors
