We are not your mirror,
not here to reflect the inverse
of your insecurities,
to consume your leftovers,
to love you as you love yourself,
as you say you love us, but, see?
You do not see us.
We do not inhabit the space that
draws your eyes like magnet
to steel. When you turn
to us, you are looking for yourself,
and when we fail to reveal
those images you crave,
you turn away again.
We are not cold as glass, our surface
is far from flawless, but it is true,
and we cannot offer the lies you seek
when you look at us and you
