Beautiful in Me
Mirror Mirror, are you there?
Tell me quick or I’ll despair—
Who is beauty? Who is fair?
If you find her tell me where.
Mirror Mirror, don’t you see?
I need someone to show me
Who held me close and let me be
And loved me under the China tree.
Mirror Mirror, can you tell
If I look like her as well?
Or did her beauty to time dispel
When Death came and rung his bell?
Mirror Mirror, if I look
Is that her that I mistook?—
Her face in mine that I betook
As only a wish in a storybook?
Mirror Mirror, I concur
You don’t need to show me her
Her eyes, her lips, her scent of myrrh
Are still with me in her mirror.

I actually like this, but the second line in the second stanza throws things off a bit.

Oooh, I do like!
. The last two weeks just suddenly got like CRAAAAZY as far as my workload, but now I've got my freetime back.
ALSO: I swear I'm working on editing Junebug
