If The Mirror Were Me

If The Mirror Were Me: Drew Lancaster

I gazed in her eyes

The presence of her face

Short of a smile

This was not the case

Looking her over

I could not help but smile

She wanted to talk

Being graced with her presence

A lucky man

At least for a while

I sat in amazement

As she spoke of her flaws

I took many looks

Could see no justifiable cause

Her mirror has decieved her

Maybe those behind

Some have no heart

It is their nature to be unkind

With grace and a smile

She spoke of her plan

Plans can be bought

Pending the price

Pending the man

She asked my opinion

What was I to say

I've always been bad at this

Dreaded the day

It was an honest answer

Not attention she longed for

How do I word this

Look inside

Search really hard

I can solve your problem

I can fix that part

Depending on the damage

The depth light or dark

I've fixed mine so many times

Well, I have it down to an art

It may take time

It is never an easy task

Look past the mirror

The mirror loves to tell

Truth it will never ask

Your mirror now me

I'll show you what you can see

Joy in her eyes

When can you start

That depends on you see

I'll need to borrow your heart

This beautiful tribute is crafted with a thoughtful and heartfelt tenderness. I believe that this work probably reflects by in large who you are as a person. A very pleasant read. "10" Thanks

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
