Hereditary
I used to love the colour
Of my eyes
But now I look at the hue
And see you
And as I grow
So do the similarities
Between us
The lines on my forehead
The curve of my smile
The weight of my brow
It's yours
I wonder how much of me is mine
How much of me you've given,
And how much you've taken with you
When you left
Every mirror I look in
Is haunted by you
I hope I grow to see the truth instead
I hope to exorcise you from myself
