self-portrait in disguise
(the something that i said)
though he tried to hear you out
it’s come out a self-portrait
waiting for moving lips to stop
to start as soon as yours shut
turning words into a mirror
when it’s not her turn just yet
your catching her reflection
no matter the surface met
he never seems to know
because he does not care to ask
seeing the most that he could hope
wearing his own face as a mask
please extend a helping hand
while we’re hanging by a thread
but she’s in the mood to sew
from the something that i said
