Nothing left

Lost in thoughts

to love you more

               I kept breaking myself.

               Sometimes in half then

               Sometimes a lot.

And one day i looked into

the mirror, gazed deeper..

                               To find nothing in the crystal

               but the blue wall behind me.

You start this poem with some ideas that have been used many times in love or heartbreak poems, so I was starting to wonder if this would be a "typical" heartbreak poem? I was glad when you moved on to an original & startlingly vivid ending . . . this is what made your poem stand out among many poems with the more ordinary expressions of being broken. This ending felt magical (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
