A Poem by Wordfondler

They came apart again last night
The stitches I mean
It took only one look this time
In the mirror,
anxious reflection
And I saw all I wanted to be
Looking back at all I painfully am

Can I still remedy that?
The pain and worry
It's taking me away
Slow, dark waters
We become more logged
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
This false mantra on repeat
In the chaos of my mind

So I stand at that mirror
False starts and misfire
Begging for peace
Can I go now?
