You’re my antidote
My reality check
My mirror image
Reflecting back
All the things I can’t see
Or don’t want to know
My faults and my flaws
You put them on show
It’s not always easy
To recognise this
More often than not
I give it a miss
Perceiving you as separate
Outside, in front of me
I confront you instead
Of the real enemy
For whatever I see
In you
Is in me
Obviously reflecting a great relationship.
ReplyDeleteVery spiritual! I agree wholeheartedly! If only everyone saw it this way! Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, you are very insightful.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about this is the confirmation of the oneness of true love. I hope you are the antidote for each other.
ReplyDeleteThis poem took me on a journey. I started off - like most of you thought - thinking about my husband but by the end of the poem realised that this really applies to every person I meet. I love it when writing does that to you :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat insight!
