Echo Off the Mirror

I've never touched love
I mouth to myself
Waiting for the echo off the mirror….

Durtee girl, mischievous
Sensational
Sugar drunken Weirdo

Don’t mess with my brain!
I’m good at mind fv(king myself…
Eyes weak with naïve hope

I turn from my mirror
Listen for my echo – and hear
I love you…. I love you… love you... you…..

“Touch me” I whisper

“Touch me” I hear

"Yeess" I whisper

I will...

Touch love.
