The Mirror Lies Too

The Mirror "Lie"

I am no longer looking for what isn't there:
The mirror "lie" - when asked for the fair.
I am caught in a catch 22 times the ache,
Long hours of sleeping, too many awake.

No end in sight of the feelings that rise.
Just emptiness seen reflected in eyes
That once held a promise, altered rules to the game.
A game that has stalled, erasing the same.

Understandable only to these fingers that touch
The warm of which only flows feelings to such.
Waking thoughtful each morning, laying wordless at night
The mooding of swings in dark's bodily fight.

Don't know why I am saying, though been said "I... too much"
Too too "why then why" myself asks after such...
In my mind that cries "over" why torture this me
If I'm worth less than words that these lips need set free.

So I'll quiet these fingers, close lips, purse them tight
Remembering once when "too much" was delight.
I will stay in my garden of thoughts, holding back
believing that some day my "some day" won't lack

The "too much" of the me that lies mirrored behind
Now impressioned in gift: tattooed "TOO" on this mind.

~A~
