My reflection on the computer screen
Over your picture like glass is between us
He said we never should have been
That he’s sorry this is hard for me
Like they could know, but I’m mirrored
And you haven’t said anything
Now I’m wearing a second hand boys tee
A robot, which we found so happy in the racks
I am myself and shine in his hands, still
Little sabotages might sneak into the day
When I become too hopeful or if I remember
I become afraid and it tumbles in me
Knowing it is unlovable
My darkness hides
The concept of presence
And of absence
All the birds in my cage
