Inner Child
by heinzs
Today
I looked into the mirror
and saw you
staring out through my eyes.
Wistful
with that mischievous glint
unable to disguise the pain
and longing.
"Soon..." I promised
yet one more time,
but you have long since
relinquished hope
resigned to the occasional outburst.
"Without you I cannot survive"
I said
and you returned my smile.
