mirror

i looked in the mirror today

it wasn’t me

i saw it was you

****

i saw you there

in all your sadness and sickness and tragedy

and i loved you

****

i inhaled the reek of your existence

and i was inflamed by my animalistic urges

and i wanted to hold you so bad

****

i looked in the mirror today

i saw you

looking at me

****

you saw me here

in all my loneliness and perversity and pity

and you felt sorry for me

****

Then you purged the fantasy of my desires!

And you were stirred by your deepest hatred!

and i saw yet another lost love gone by

****

I looked in the mirror today.
