You’re a Mirror I Cannot Avoid

I caught you caroling and giving grief
 Thought you were cannonballing after me
 I let your actions speak for themselves
 And wished you well
 But youre a mirror I cannot void
 Strung out and jittery and paranoid
 A leaky battery that cant keep charged
 Get in the car and say what you mean
 Explain yourself to me and Ill try not to judge you more than you would
 Let me help, I promise not to tell
 Like anyones asking or anyone should
 First time I met you I was full of fear
 Knew that eventually youd disappear
 Just when I needed you youd burn to smoke
 And off you go
 Just come back and peel away the mess
 Lay here beside me and open your eyes
 Take it back your dignity your tact
 Turn back to the person you tried to let die
 I caught you nesting with your analog
 Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs
 Becoming infinite against his couch
 Open your mouth and say the words
 You used to wish you heard
 Back when you focused enough to be good
 And if youre gone
 An endless false alarm
 Just remember I loved you
 As long as I could
