Who is this woman, living here, confused, alone, and always cold? She used to hold a heart so warm but now she feels used up and old. She looks at her reflection long and truly does not recognize she feels so changed, it is a curse her spirit feels awash in lies. There was a day she felt such hope and love for all that she would know over the years something has died she longs for times of long ago. A yearning for her innocence and future yet to be destroyed now life is sinking all around She's falling fast into the void. Who is she then, this weakened soul and shall she live to someday see a little touch of happiness? Oh no-this hollow shell is me! |

Sandra, Who is she then, this weakened soul and shall she live to someday see a little touch of happiness? Oh no-this hollow shell is me! ========================================== Who is this woman that I see Looking in her mirror At destiny Why does she think she sees a mess? Why? Searching happiness, in her mirror Why does she fear? Why not cheer? How can she know the truth, I see I see her now, glowing especially I see her shine radiantly Fair Looking beautifully, over there she is so pretty! This I see If only she would look to me and find God's purest love eternally For needless worry, all that fear Wrong! Only come from broken mirrors Look away! Come! See! Your beauty! Look in my mirror. Sandra, I think you are beautiful! ((Sandra)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Your poetry is so emotionally open and real, Sandra. Someday you'll look in that mirror and see what so many of us here see in you. |

I don't always like what is reflecting back at me, I like to think it is just the distortion in the mirror. Hold tightly to all the good in you, it is not healthy to let someone destroy our spirit. *hugs* |

hollow. . . no. . . there's more inside of you than meets the eye. . . I know. . . good image here. . . makes the poem work. . . -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

You may never recapture your innocence but there is a spark of love burning in you that is waiting for the man strong and willing enough to turn it into a burning flame...**big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Catalina , this is simply wonderful. "Oh no-this hollow shell is me!" Great writing, you know when I read your poems it is like a dominoe effect. Read the first word and then it all falls together, such flow. floria Floria |

Sandra - I believe that we all have felt this way at one time or another in our lives. Not knowing the person staring back at us from the mirror. Especially as time slips away. Bravo! Well written. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Sandra; We would all love to love in a mirror and see a reflection of what we saw many years prior. Actually, I would love to see a beautiful blond, size 3, etc.:-) But, there are all kinds of beauty, thankfully. There is so much beauty in your writing, and there is inner beauty that comes out in in the things you do and say. Best wishes. Wanda |

You write the empty reflection so well...I've been there. This touches those memories. I don't know when or how..but the real me started to appear a little more each day. I guess when I started looking at her. We see you Lady. And you're no empty shell. Hugs! Sincerely, Regina |

How true, sometimes we look inside ourselves and see nothing there. I hope that moment didn’t last long Sandra, for there is a large heart in you that will be filled again. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
