Every day it's the same routine. I find comfort in our back and forth. Every gesture that we make is rhythmically timed to perfection. Our voices are harmonically linked. It is absolute synergy the way we coexist in this lowly world. The largest pane of reflective glass could not mirror my image the way you do. You are my soul's twin. I can't even call you the better half of me. Because you are me.
But lately I've been feeling like a vampire on one of those shows that I only watch because you love them so much. I don't feel the similarity in their undead, losing my pigment, thirsting for flesh and blood kind of way.
Oh no.
You know what happens when a vampire looks into a mirror. They are unable to see and appreciate something that the rest of us take for granted every day.
Now, as I stare into the looking glass, I do not see eyes starring back at me.
Where did you go? Where is my mirror image?
At first the fade was slight. But, over time, the opacity gradually depleted. Until I was left where I am now. Gazing into the vast state of oblivion. I can no longer tell my left from my right. My up from my down. I can not even recognize my own movements. I slump around lackadaisically with no vision of happiness or sadness. I am in an emotional purgatory.
All I can do is sit here and wait. Wait for you to return to me. Wait for your spark to reignite my flame.
Until then, here I stand. Starring at the glass. With no reflection.
Live, love & learn!
-The King
