Mirrin meaning cloudy or maybe I'm confused aka mirror
"As you live Deeper in the Heart, the Mirror gets clearer and cleaner"
Rumi
I can get as close as I like
You wouldn't, couldn't back away
Though I'll become hazy
Air from my lungs capable of obscuration
But incapable of breathing life into you
Closeness feeds on flaws
An insatiable appetite in me
Wishing to learn of when and why you'd look away
Yet from distance I am the lure
Grabbing not yours, but my own attention
Impenetrable to scratches or harsh words
I know you aren't even at fault
Though coldly you direct attention to me
Could you not know how easily I'm destroyed?
I've shared every thought and word with you
I exist without you, I know I do!
So infrequently now do you flatter me
But when you do I'm wholly immersed
Like a little bird with a longed for friend
We dance and you reciprocate every smile
I have so much to say
Though never able to believe or deny you
It's coldness, pure coldness you emit
Just a reflection, which is surely worse
I cannot sever from this untethered tormentor
Do I need to know what others see?
It's not within the realm of possibility
They, I , distil to just what is needed right then
Embrace or reject at will
For we all waltz with demons
I'd see my hand in front of my face
Whether or not I am actually here
Each piece of information viewed separately
Stitched together to try to make sense
Loneliness or interaction just a distraction
So I gravitate back
Or so I believe
Trying to look beyond opaque glass
Seeking answers from a smooth surface
Cruelly captivated by the likeness of a once was friend
