THE MIRROR #poetry by jay

Old man look in your mirror
cry if you want to
the mirror reflects back
the pain of severed love

Old man you wanted love
to bicker the day with
a fragment of reality
hit the play button
on the mending setting

the fissures that separate
in two
your heart of one

Old man look in the mirror
reflect a life well-lived
and gratitude for more to give.
