for however long
it takes to see my reflection
in your eyes
like glass
they show me
who I am,
I will wait
in front of the mirror
screaming at my scars
to disappear
like you have
if only for a moment.
I cannot see you
nor hear your voice
but i know somewhere
you shine
among the darkness
that has filled my head
since you left.
I can stand on my own
for a while
until I fall down again
under the weight
of my imbalance.
crooked posture
like the curve
in my spine.
