My Reflection

It's about heart-break, clinging on to what you love even after its gone and it's also about hoping for a better tomorrow.

It's over, we're done, you say 

and you start to walk away 

But what about the you that you left

Living and breathing inside of me?

How can I ever forget you?

when you're my very reflection

In my every smile, I see yours 

In my every laugh, I hear yours

Everything I say and do, 

Why does it remind me of you? 

When did we get so alike?

And when did your dreams become mine?

when did whats mine become ours

and why did it all fall apart?

I etched your name upon my heart 

I let you into my soul

now all I have left are deep scars 

and a me who's turned into you 

Maybe thats what I get for loving you

For living for your smile

and longing for your voice 

I get to keep a part of you

and though it hurts, it keeps me alive for now   

Maybe I'll wake up one day 

to find that my soul was whole again

to find the heart that you broke had healed 

that day I'll cast you away

from my head, from my heart, from my being

with not a hint of pain or remorse

Every sign of you will be lost

and you won't be there in the mirror

I wonder how it'll feel

to be just...me

Ouch, this one is dripping with sorrow. A very deep penetration of one into another. I like how well you captured this phenomenon. Its a universal reaction I think after a great schism, but you have worded it more appropriately than most are able to.

I enjoyed this write very much. I have to say that the ending tied it all up very nicely. That last line:

"I wonder how it'll feel
to be just...me"

PERFECT! I can relate to that myself, as I'm sure many others can. Thank you for sharing this wonderful write!
