meant for me

The disgust
you meant for me
is filling your mirror

etching new
and early wrinkles
in your face

filling me
with guilt
that is not my own
but that I deserve

each
standing up for positions
that have not even a chair
to lean upon

if this is the past
that we must carry forward
then this is our future

if we can't see through
the fog of this
today and yesterday

into the people
we are alone and separate
from what we've done

we can stop
and work through
to something new

or just dream
and lie about the tide coming in
reaching closer to our shoulders
day after day
