I'LL BE YOUR MIЯROR

“Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours.”

 

- Andy Warhol

I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR – VELVET UNDERGROUND

 

I see you like looking in a vintage mirror

a reflection of me deep in my soul

you leave me now; grieving and hollow

carved out my heart; left me to fold

the silvered reverse on the mirror's back

has peeled and shrivels like blistered paint

heated then cooled; like blood it pools

hold me; restrain me and in my constraints

I may struggle; my breath may be short

I feel stifled; the trifle expands in my mind

my heart swells; I fall; I am caught

betwixt and between two worlds where we met

in past lives where oneness was all that we sought

in this world however you tease me and run

you seek me; you leave me; you leave me so torn

alone and forsaken; you know you have taken

the best part of me; the part that was sworn

perhaps we will try

perhaps we will die

before we have taken our vows

perhaps, the most favourite word of your life

perhaps at least gives us something somehow

a chance, even seconds

past lives that are reckoned

that eternal love would succeed

find us again; survive endless pain

so the two halves of mirror will collide once again.

 

Just a silly romantic story about a gallant knight of old and his runaway muse …
