In the mirror
I watched her eyes
swell up in tears
and as i saw her face
the most blankest stare
sat there
losing herself
to all her fears
and as the first tear fell
she said it stood for
each and every time she thought
of how to end this
internal pain
"Stop" she screamed
inside her head
as the thoughts came rushing
bad memories are back
and the good ones gone
more tears fell
one after another
I know I saw her
I watched her, I Lived her
all through the mirror

For every drop of my blood that falls
is because of you!

spaz02,
  very good..I have read some of your other poems & I think that you are a talented writer. I liked this  one a lot. I'm not sure if this is what the meaning is or not, but I think the meaning is that it is telling an experience of someone who has had a bad experience & now is looking back in the past and forgetting all the good things and remembering only  the bad things??

Hey spaz02,

This isn’t one of my favorites by you but I did like it.
I loved how you used the mirror to describe this that was really cool…

The only thing I would say about this that hasn’t been said would be some of the tenses. There are a couple that I think are incorrect but I’m not 100% sure on that, because I’m really bad with that sort of thing, so you might want to go through and re-read the poem to yourself. See what you think.

I know I saw her
I watched her, I lived her
All through the mirror”


Loved these lines, it wasn’t what I was expecting. I didn’t even really think you were talking about yourself at first, it was a neat twist to the poem!

Anyway, once again great write by you and I can’t wait to read more in the near future

I really liked the last stanza in this.. it seemed to pull the whole poem together.. good job..keep up the good work..

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.
Want nothing & you will have everything.

Nice write. I enjoyed it. I was feeling very down. And I don’t know why but you poem jut kinda cheered me up. (Or woke me up. (It’s like 6 in the morning. I’ve been up for an hour and a half.


I know I saw her
I watched her, I lived her
all through the mirror


This I didn’t really think flowed that well. I don’t know it’s just the middle line that kinda bugged me.  I think that it should be 'I lived her, I was her'. But that wouldn’t work either. I don’t know. Sorry. Just ingnore me.
