Mirrors dont lie

The oars are not moving
yet the mast flies high
on the boat of my body
my soul remains high
inundated with thoughts
of one I always adore
and my heart beats on
as my ship drifts ashore

I look inside each night
and see you there yet
I do not get to hold you
Wise say Mirrors don't lie
and yet to me they do
whenever I look in them
I see just you, no me
even when you are far

I thought, I had one life
but how wrong, have been
I live each night in dreams
die each day without you
how many more deaths
do i need to entail here
just to get to hold you
here in person, in this life

Love, memories are sweet
but I cannot just hug them
and cry for this pain, agony
on their shoulders again
I need you to move across
and call me from there
hold me with your hands
and hug me again closer
