there's only one me in this room
but there's two in the mirror
an angel, I had assumed
she's a twin, but also a lover
a push and pull relationship
of incestuous love and hate
I myself don't know what to make of it
should I feel pride and shame
cos when I look at the glass
she's there mocking me
with a hint of encouragement, although a bit crass
cos she knows I don't like what I see
maybe, if I got rid of all the reflective surfaces
I won't get to see her
maybe I'd do myself a service
and finally,I put a stop to this forever
it's not like i haven't done this before
but I'll miss that girl
she's stuck to my core
she's been here all along, through the whirl
through the drip of green on my lips
where we kissed at the sink
through the food that had only known dips
our fingers were linked.
