Reflection
I see you as I sit,
By the river,
Trees rustling,
A cool shiver,
I try to read your mind,
Words unspoken,
Deep within,
I see you broken,
By tiny waves,
Of emptiness,
Of sadness,
Of fear,
Suddenly,
It becomes clear,
On the surface,
I can see,
You are a reflection,
Of me,
But how can that be?
I am strength,
I am honor,
I am pride,
So I turn my back,
And leave you behind.
