I held it to my face and they all stared.I could see there eyes bulge as they saw the monster i'd become i'd say listen to my story and YOU will learn......
I sat feeling more than alone looking in the mirror mouthing 'stranger...'
He sat feeling more than alone looking in the mirror mouthing 'creep'...... we were much alike
I sat in the bar looking in the mug of foaming beer before me.
He sat in the bar looking the bottle of ale before him.
I sat looking in his eyes the reflection unworthy of him
He sat looking at the reflection in his eyes thinking he was unworthy of me
we looked up our hands touched
our eyes opened
our fingers locked
our lips touched
it all stopped.
I saw the corners of his mouth rise as mine did , then an awkward silence. i twisted my hair round my finger and he bit his lip; i pulled him towards me and our arms wrapped around each other our mouths connected. We were together since then, 2000, clearly the year of lost love.
2009} he sat flicking through the paper his eyes looking into his reflection in the glass jug.
2009}i sat flicking through the crumpled pages of the diary i wrote when i first met him i treasured those moments even though they happened every day.i stared at my reflection in the gold padlock.
2010} he fell to the floor when proposing to me.
2010}i watched the love of my life fall to the floor with the gold ring.
i took him to GFN hospital. They new as much as me , They new as much as him.
he stared at his reflection of the silver clamp on the clipboard reading 'heart failure'
i stared at my reflection in the tears that dripped from his blue eyes.
2011}he lays in the coffin his eyes as if they're staring in the gold padlock on my diary
i stare at my reflection in the gold engraving on the coffin
i realise who i am
i stop.
i stare.
the reflection isn't there...xx:o)
