I see myself in you


Gazing at the reflection in the mirror
I no longer recognize
The person I have metamorphosized into

Embittered, in the vicissitudes of life
I have set myself free from expectations
And from hope

People came
Some stayed
Some left 
Slicing my soul
It hurt then
It doesn't ache anymore

I collected my ashes
Smeared it on my being
And found peace within

Until you came by
The kiss of destiny
On my forehead

And I became precisely
What I was meant to be

Soaring heights
Erasing my past
I have treaded on journey
Where I see my reflection
In you
With you.
