This Is My Favorite Room

This Is My Favorite Room

She was right.

Maybe not about everything

But about this.

I thought you were a missing piece

But you’re disappointing like the rest.

Each with his own basket of flaws

To sort through.

W.A. said it best,

Everyone will disappoint.

The light changed with this,

Your reflection a bit bluer.

So now I’m down to the final piece:

Me.

I see me reflected in you.

I see me a bit clearer for it.

It was over a drink that I understood,

I only think about myself.

I wanted to ask you if it was true,

But you were talking,

and I laughed at the irony of it.
