My beautiful mirror (a #poem)

Tears hide behind a sneer
and wisdom obscured by bad jokes
the morning after.

While coffee is an excuse
and expensive threads
try to distract
from feelings of loss
and despair feigns to be
the one true love
while nothing
is more incomprehensible
or should we say intelligible?

You are the mask
that I am wearing
and therefore
my beautiful mirror
