Reflection

I gaze into the mirror
and I wonder who I am.

I see everything
I tried so hard not to be,
wondering where it all began,
when did I start losing me?

When I look at you staring back,
I see you,
watching you slipping
further
and
further
away.

That is when I knew,
I knew she was empty.

Surrendering her strong
and giving in
to the familiar black comfort.

I am more confused by myself
than I am of the past.

Who am I turning into...
and am I giving up
on finding someone better?
