A Silent Mirror

I am a mirror

Your laugh and love, 
your moods and silence;
I mirror them all.
urgently, intensely, vividly.

Shadows get darker,
Laughs get louder,
silence, heavier.
What's yours become mine.
I own them.

Under the weight of silences
shadows transfix my core.
I wait in suspense, 
Not knowing,
When you will smile and talk again,
when I will get some light
To reflect, to break the jinx.

Silence. Shadows. heavy. transfixed.
That's its essence.
Dark, heavy and unchanging
Beauty in its stillness
A wondrous thing, not to be disturbed.

It embraces my heart, 
encompassing it from all sides
Its quiet inside, dreamy
Nostalgic.
Like a memory before 
I came into existence.

I want to disappear, 
I want to stop existing
Is it a joy or pain
I cannot decide.

In this heart of darkness within
Am I finding my soul?
Or is it clutches of an enemy
I need to escape from?
I know it not.
Are you too drowning, 
in search for your own?
Or are you waiting
for me to emerge?
I know it not.

As a lone sigh wanders off in air,
I reflect.
I reflect that 
I am ready to mirror
Your lights again.
Slightest of lights will do.
