"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." —Edith Wharton


Have you ever watched
a tear fall down your face
through a mirror,
dimly light,
and wonder
what you did
to end up this way?
or maybe you've swallowed
your tears instead
picked them all up,
and tucked them all in
masking strength
in clear eyes
forced to hold all that
you never told?
either way,
I can tell
you're broken inside
(but what can I do
to help you survive?)
