Reflection

Inside of each of us, experienced.

I watch her eyes close softly.
I witness her tears slip free.
I wonder why she is crying?
What's wrong that i can't see?
Is she in pain or suffering?
Has someone broken her heart?
Maybe she is dying..
Or her world has fell apart..
I keep on wondering about
What could possibly be wrong,
As she continues to sob..
How do tears fall for so very long?
My own heart aches for her.
For all that it could be.
I glance once more at her grief,
At the reflection in the mirror,
at me.

Had a feeling where it would end and I was right..there is positive energy in it despite being a sad poem..nevertheless a great introspective piece that doesn't solicit sympathy but inspires a sad melodic symphony..

ps I'm a Leo as well and we tend to be harsh on our selves :)..check out my stuff you might like..TC

Another great work. It reminds me of a podcast by the actress Riki Lindhome. She was going through bad relationship and start crying. She ran to the mirror to see what she looked like when crying. She figured she could use that in her acting. That is the same level of dedication to art that a writer needs.

You are very talented. Keep writing. And keep looking in mirrors.

Its certainly true sometimes we just oversee, our true self. Its the Reflection that at times shows us our true all. Nice Poem!

this is beautiful and clever, the way the piece flows and creates such an enigma. well done, its great

It is presented in a beautiful way, with a melancholic feel you let reader feel for the girl, and how she is in pain in her heart, and ending it in a magnificent way by revealing that the girl is the poet herself... A very beautiful write... I have been there in a situation like this, looking at my reflection in the mirror... Very thought provoking...

Sincerely

Powerful piece, the moment the tears flow it can become hard to know who we are and the whys...you portrayed this so well and poignantly :)

Beautifully captured. You connect the disconnect what is seen and what is felt perfectly. Our eyes see the mask or shell, but the mind sees us for real, in all our flaws that mirrors can't pick up on, and the two rarely if ever match. It is the conflict of being, we are so much more than just an image, yet we hold that image in such high regard. Thought provoking write.
