My Other Half

For every self,
There is a shadow.

For every smile,
There is a frown.

As for the dainty sun,
Her sister, a sulky moon.

And as I look intently at my reflection
It stares right back at me.

Its bitter dark eyes,
Penetrate my own.

So different yet the same.
So far and yet so close.

I suddenly smile and say,
"My other half."
