2. mirrors and portals



When people look into

                                    my eyes

                       they don’t see me,
   
        they see themselves

                                       through me

                                                           as me

                              experiencing you

               I’m a mirror to you

                                          but to me

    Your souls enter mine

                    in order to

See themselves

                through my sight of them

                                              Feel themselves

        through my feelings of them

                                Understand themselves

        through my understanding of them

                    You see my light

and want to consume it

              But my darkness is too consuming

                        You enter thinking you‘ll drink from it

                Instead you are swallowed.
