My Reflection: “Just don’t want to hurt her anymore.”

My Reflection

That person looking back at me from the mirror,
She wasn’t very kind to me.
She didn’t say anything.
She Just looked back at me, quietly.
I did all the talking.
As if I was talking to myself.
But I wasn’t.
I was talking to her.
Reflections require opinions.
She didn’t ask me for mine.
Couldn’t give it anyway,
Just didn’t want to hurt her,
Anymore…
