Gemini

You think that you know me,
blinded by my brand of shine,
wine,
but you can't possibly see
past this murky surface of mine.

Warm embrace;
a friendly smile
and admiration.

I stand in the shadows here,
against the wall, watching,
listening.
Of all the voices I can hear,
none are mine speaking.

Warm reply;
a friendly mask
and emotionless.

For all my perfection, mere
human I remain, flawed.
hollowed.
I smile and swallow a tear
as my mind numbs, cold.

Please tell me what you think
