Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the biggest fool of all You don't have to answer me Because when I look at you I see A boy who thought he was a man And so when love came to his hand He let it slip and let it fall And lost the greatest war of all Mirror, mirror you look at me And in your gaze I see no envy For a wasted life I live In a world with no more left to give To someone who destroys all at one touch I've never felt despair so much As when love, friends and family All turn their back on me Mirror, mirror show me true what my heart sees when I look at you My self-hate knows no bounds Like a darkened cloud it surrounds A tired, spent boy who's cried Till his eyes are empty, sightless, dried And his geart his barren, aching, cold And his soul is tattered, worn and old Now mirror, mirror look again You've seen the fool that I have been Now see me change my heart and soul and mind and leave that foolish boy behind In a place I will forget That we two had ever met And when next you see me you will not recognise For I will have cast out love and all it's lies. |

I'm terribly sorry as I seem to have posted the same poem twice by mistake. Will a moderator please delete it? Terribly sorry! |

Tal, although some of the poem was a bit overlong and I had to stumble over it, I think you have talent, and that the poem was very good indeed. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |
