mirrors lie, hide the true picture
deceptive in their reflections
they play on your insecurities
tease you with your misgivings
showing the beauty around not within

a photograph only a moment in time
a blink captured for posterity
gambles taken to capture a shot
posed or candid it really matters not
a picture is just someone you once were

look into these eyes, see the love shining back
you are beautiful heart and soul
my joy blossoms each time I see you
my desires erupt at the very thought of you
truly, who is it you are going to believe...
