The boy

Messy black hair

Like his father

Skinny

Like his father

Arrogant

Like his father

And yet

Eyes

Like his mother

Green eyes

Her green eyes

Beautiful green eyes.

The boy

Proof

That she chose him

Over me

And yet

The only bit left

Of her.

The boy

A copy

Of the man

I hated

Of the man

Who took her from me

And yet

A copy

Of the woman

I loved

Of the woman

I still love.

When I look at

The boy

I see either

James

Or

Lily.
