seek within 

you may find an entire jungle

in your skin

 

can you hear the river 

as you look into the mirror?

 

listen closer she whispered in my ear.

can’t you see? 

you carry her 

 

 

I sigh, and I look into her eyes, my heart is heavy. 

 

we have been broken I say

 

but the mirror she says.

don’t forget about the mirror. 

 

the mirror isn’t broken. 

 

it’s true.

I see me. 

and I see her. 

and I can’t help but think about the way she is holding it. 

 

what a relief I think.

she’s holding me.

I can’t help but feel the deepest love, the deepest embrace. 

from her, which is Her and it’s she and somehow it’s also me and I don’t know but it’s all the same anyways and I’m in love and I smile and I laugh and I tell her thanks for creating this with me.
