How It’s Always Been by Siddharth Upadhyay

Poem

Its eyes — reflect me.

Mine —
reflect it.

It sees what I see.

I see it.

It moves when I move.

It— freezes, when I freeze.

I froze— and it moved.

The light went out… and so did the sheen.

Now it’s just me.

No him.

Harsh.

But that’s— how it’s always been.
