I am the enemy
Why do you not see?
You look at me, I look at you
What is your silent plea?
Your eyes a sorrowful brown
Mine your matching set
Your eyebrows crease, yes!
I am your only threat!
You reach a trembling hand
Towards my tender cheek
As tears begin to clog your vision
My own tears fall; I am weak.
My fingers reach to meet yours
A mirror is what you see
I am your reflection
I am your enemy.
