I Was Your Mirror
And I reflected for you everything you’re not
Days in December were littered
with snow and confetti
We hastily built our world and huddled inside
Speaking our own language
Singing our own songs
Writing our own story
Our song was “I’ll Be Your Mirror”
by the Velvet Underground
What it meant was
I see you
I recognize you
I will show you how wonderful you are
As the months went on I thought it had faded
I thought it had disappeared
It turns out
I was your mirror
But in a different way
I showed you everything ugly in you
Every bit of poison inside
Everything you wish you had
Everything you weren’t
And you didn’t like what you saw
So you broke me
