True Reflections

Never a smile
Always a curt
Straight mouthed sign
Of disappointed bitterness.
I hope you see the mirror
The glass you've so often
Tried to shatter with your coldness
Because it still reflects the truth
As it always will
That deep inside
You are hollow
You care for naught
And all things are clear
Because your own mask
Can't even hide
The empty soul
That resides within.

Changed

Something in my face has changed

It’s subtle but it’s there

A new line or break

Overwhelming of contentment

Behind my eyes

Etched upon my forehead.

The actual switch

I don’t know when it occurred

Could it have been the moment

In which I took my vows

Or the one where I saw your face

--It doesn’t really matter

From that single moment

My life has changed for good.

Two Years to the Day

Two years to the day

When I first saw your smile

Light up your eyes

When you looked at me.

It will be two years to the day

From the time that I first

Looked to you standing there

Waiting to meet me face to face.

Two years to the day

When I first heard you sing

To something more

Than just a melodious tune

But allowing a window to your soul.

Two years to the day

When I first laughed at you

For not connecting one to two

But you joined along with me

Knowing how foolish it was.

And now, two years to the day

I will give you my hand

For all the world to see

And never remove it

Because now two years to the day

I know that I can never live without you.
