I saw you in the mirror
Looking back at me
I wondered who you really were
What was it you could see?

I smile knowing you would do the same
i look away hoping to escape your deathly stare
but my attempt to escape you was made in vain
i spun around & where ever i looked you were there

i sit down breathing deeply thinking what to do
i look up and i see you sitting down mocking me
i stand up slowly thinking, thinking it all through
all i want is for you to leave and me to be free

i walk away you follow me always there next to me
i look ahead and see grass and not another mirror
i run towards it and smile as i escape my worst enemy
i look back at the nothingness and in my dream i shiver

I like the feeling of the inescapable in your poem. In life you can push away a lot of hurtful or cruel people but you can never get away from yourself.

Thank you sorrow, if we could live in a world where we are at peace with ourselves there is no thinking of what this world would be like...

My brother, the emotions you stir in my heart... You know how i feel and what im about... I commend you my brother in capturing the essence of it. I applaud you!

A sign in  the wind
The fatal last breath
Soft prelude to death
Alone
Amidst black roses
