Two Mirrors

Two mirrors reflecting eachother

frozen in time, fragile yet rougher

Never meeting, inches apart

A kaleidoscope of drifting hearts

Cracks in one fractures the other

In darkness both fail to recover

Shards of broken silver strings

A melody splintered before it begins

They feel and know but never speak

one hopes that the other seeks

Thus, one awakens with thoughts deranged

Pleads a song for things to change

"I wait for your words that never land

A thesis that you wrote in sand

I glance through lines and memories old

Searching for relics and glittering gold

This game we play with dance and rhythm

Moving through this heart shaped prism

Scattering into ribbons of light

Colliding and bouncing, restrained by fright

You pull me from my self imprison

Baited by your seductive glisten

Pushed me with your silence still

Mind erupting, spineless chill

Now I wait to meet your gaze

Hold your hand and read your face

Sunset of this year awaits

Time stands still to meet my fate."

And so it bargains with the divine

"Keep her frozen, give me time

Yes or no it matters not

Just a chance to cry my thoughts"

A quest imposed for polished perfection

To shine so bright, worthy of her reflection

With bated breath it gathers it's shards

Mending them with gilded scars

"When I am complete, you will be mine

Please wait for me just one last time"

But it never realized

It need not turn into a prize.
