Mirror

Mirror, mirror,
You are standing against the wall.
I look into you to see me
But my eyes they do fall.

Mirror, my mirror,
Oh how i wish you were my friend.
But there's no one looking back at me
When it is i that is looking in.

Mirror, oh mirror,
Why must this be?
When i look into your cold, cold glass
i can see none of me.

i see what was,
And all who have shared in this sad old core,
But i can see not i.
For i am no more.

Though there is always a tomorrow
On life's most wavy shore.
For me, i can see not a ripple
As i stand here on this lonely floor.

I am here looking in to see what image there is left of me,
But i can find there is not a trace.
For when i look into your cold and rigid stare,
I can see there is only an old stranger's face.

Mirror, poor mirror,
How i could feel for thee
You stand here looking out and what do you see?
Is it; could it, could it really be me?

Mirror, you silly mirror,
All there is i feel is your cold icy glaze.
Is this all there is for me
For the rest of my days?

Mirror, my poor, poor mirror,
i look in and i can no longer endure.
Oh, with my bloody, bloody hands i look down
Now, you are merely shards of glass lying on the floor.

What a fantastic debut!
This really is an intense and  wonderful piece, hitting me all the more as I have an obsession with mirrors (the concept, not out of  vanity   )
Impressive.
I look forward to more!

T Rose, Welcome to passions what a great first post. Such strong imagery.
Be well

Indeed, welcome. Powerful and somethign others can probably relate to, if only in desire and intent. Been there, done that. Though usually, the wall was the victim...

T. Rose you touched my heart with this one such a sad poem, yet in his images they do ring true. Do we look in the mirror as the world looks at us . Are do we just seem to persuade ourselves of such horrors that we see inside the soul. Just a thought to ponder. thx again TROSE

Strangely disturbing - even frightening in its intensity. Good Show!

WOAH. Welcome, and you sure are coming in like a lion!! Thank you for the read! I, too, have a strange obsession with mirrors. I have written one quite similar to this, maybe I'll post it some day. WELCOME and thanks again!!   ((HUGS))

Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.
