Mirrors

It's a smile that doesn't show.
It's a flame that doesn't glow.
It's a cold that keeps me warm.
It's a peaceful violent storm.
It shouldn't work like that.
But it does.
I feel comfort in my fear.
I feel so close when you're not here.
I need more arms to hold you tight.
When you come near I die of fright.
When you look at me I'm afraid.
Frighten me!!
It's the wrong that makes it right.
It's the chains that give me flight.
You hold me down so I can fly.
Any more alive I'd die.
Get away from me don't leave.
It's in your cage that I feel free.
You take my blood so I can bleed.
You take my air so I can breathe.
Love is not even close.
It travels only in you.
You travel in me.
Of this earth only one.
