A Stranger's Reflection



I'm staring into my reflection
a mirror
but who I see
staring back through the glass
isn't me

Same eyes
same mouth
and yet
I do not recognize
who I see

Smoky eyes filled with the shadows
of past worlds
staring out over the starry sky
so tired
staring into my reflection

Parted lips chapped with the night
of nightmares intense
aching with a longing to feel
so cold
staring into my reflection

A mirror
but who I see
staring back at me
is a stranger to the known
