Mirror
She takes pictures
to try to hold in emotions
she is afraid she'll never remember.
Beautiful hideous people
with candy-coated lips
and powder-clogged sinuses
they mean her no harm,
she tells herself
through the two way mirror
with the mad, mad hatter
and the ever-crushing grin.
This is love.
Or so she hears.
Giving yourself to another
endlessly
wholly
unquestioningly.
And when he gives back
with fingers and hips
sugar-coated lips
she knows
that the box in the closet
behind all the books
will forever be kind
oh,
so
very
kind
in helping her to never
ever
forget.
