I see
bruised crescents under eyes
chapped lips screaming cries
mucus dripping down my philtrum
stubbled chin, cheeks a-glisten
hopeless, tear-streaked as they are
no hope at all, not near nor far
angled bones, where there were curves
fresh-drawn scars, from someone out of love
this is exactly what I see
right here
in the mirror.
