Poem: Beauty

I saw a half-drawn image of a girl,

One whom I nearly mistook for myself,

Before I realized how much smoother the lines were

That were painted on her face,

How few eraser marks I could discern on the page.

Her skin too vibrant,

Her eyes too bright,

How could I mistake her silky hair for mine?

I saw a half-drawn image of a girl,

Who bore no likeness to myself,

Before I realized how alike we were

In the first moment that I saw her,

When I saw my half-drawn self

Reflected in her eyes,

When her half-drawn eyes

Reflected her half-drawn self back into mine.
