I hate mirrors
I hate mirrors.
I cannot longer find pleasure
staring at my own reflection.
There are times that I won't quit
staring at it for too long;
a very long lasting moment
withoutpausenorcause
that bends my will,
that forces me to think to myself:
"Look at him and look at you".
As if by staring at the replicated image
would allow for me
to develop its understanding;
"Look at the faces of the these men
he cheated on you with constantly:
look at their jaws,
the accentuated cheekbones
fencing the edges of their smile.
Notice that light brown shadow contouring both of their eyes;
don't they look perfect with
their very lighted skin, and beard?
Look at all those things
your face is missing,
you can't even grow a beard.
Maybe if you could have,
you also would've been abled
with the possibility to hide,
at least half of the ugliness
he was ashamed to be seen with.
Maybe if you could have been abled
to hide half of the ugliness he was ashamed to be seen with,
he would've seemed wanting to stay.
Didn't he persistently request
for you to let your beard grow?
Didn't he continuously mention
that all of his exes let their beard grow
due to his request?
Look at him, then look at you;
attempt to find which part
of that replicated image of a face
is feeding your eyes with lies,
is it your eyes themselves
the part of your face
that spread the rumors,
or is it that persistent
replicated image of a face
the one who wronged
the judgment of your mind?
Look at him and look at you,
how could he,
if you wouldn't even settled
for something like this?
It looks sort of funny, doesn't it?
It still does that weird grimace
when it tries to smile,
don't you wish you could've
grown that beard
to hide what made him feel
ashamed to be seen with?
He never seemed wanting
to go anywhere with you,
the few chances that you had,
he would walk fast,
always two steps ahead,
always leaving you behind.
Why is it too hard
for you to understand?
Are you sick in the eyes to see?
How could he not
be ashamed to be seen beside you,
if you alone
find yourself ashamed
staring at the replicated image
of your own reflection.
Both of us hate mirrors,
but you alone despite
being abled to be seen at.
