Mirrored Reflections
Imagine someone finished all your thoughts
and never failed to share your point of view.
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
I think it would be nice to be real close
to someone else, but picture him your clone. . .
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
I saw a show about a pair of twins.
They’ve stayed the same in all they say and do.
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
What mystery or fun in partnerships
if there were always everything foreknown?
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
If bonds of love were colors, could they thrive
if they remained the one same constant hue?
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
If you reflected someone flesh and soul. . .
Together would you not still be alone?
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
I would not like to know my whole sweet life
were being lived by not just one, but two!
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
