I Don't See The Me That You See

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Stairing into this pool
I search for the beauty 
You say you see in me.
As I stair
My features turn into just shapes.
I give up
I can't see it.

Forgetting about the world around me
I think about those words you said to me
Searching for alternate meanings.
I can't find the person 
You see in me.
I conclude that we must be looking
In different mirrors.
In mine
You look fine and right
And your fragile heart shines through.
But a dirty and beat up
Cruel and worthless person
Just looks back at me.

Turning away my mirror
You hold me in your arms.
And say those words again to me.
I know what I saw
And what you should have
And push you away.
Again, I show you the reflection
But you just come closer to me.
I don't understand you
I now scream
Finally letting these tears streak
My cheeks.
Can't you see!?!
You blind, naive man
Why can't you see
The real me.
