I see you...

see me

you are and are not

Is this what others see
all they see?

Cursed and Blessed
I see beyond this

Reflection of me
to reflection within

Of course I love you...

I know your heart and intent
your past

what you've lived through
what you've lost
what you've kept

Of course I hate you...

Who you've been
What you've done

when you've taken the easy path
when you've justified an action
when I know you knew better

when the consequences were not
entirely yours

Of course I fear you...

That you may be not more than this
pretty packaging that only fades with time

That each day you will be less
until you are nothing at all

Worse
I see you...

all you should have been and done
all that you can be could be

each time I see you
you are only closer

my friend, my enemy, myself

to being just a reflection

I never see again
