Staring Back

Reflections of Love

By Elizabeth ButlerPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Nothing I say,

Ever makes you stay.

In the mirror I look at you,

Yet whatever I do,

It’s never enough.

Do I love,

Eyes that see me?

Do I know,

The person worthy of love?

Not recognising,

What I’m right now.

Whenever I lie,

I’m still fond of me.
