Self Deception

May 12, 2015

You gave me a bloody eye.

You bruised my ribs.

You broke my fingers.

You busted my lip.

You sprained my heel.

You destroyed my mental health.

I could never look at you in the eye.

But today I am.

I stand up.

You step back.

I turn on the light.

I look up.

You look up.

There you are.

Mirror!

I love the twist in the ending, so true, but it caught me by surprise! Nice work!
