a few days ago
and all the time before
i thought i could
whenever i wanted
sit against a mirror
straight forward
and just stare
at my face
happily
until night
came along
but lately
ive noticed
i can not
always entertain
myself
throughout the day
everyday
simply with beauty
because
obviously
at some point
i will need
someone
else
to be there for me
or even
to just hold the mirror
away
please
i can not live
alone
forever
no matter how
self consumed
i may think
life has become
for me
there is
such sweet company
waiting
in my dreams
