I reflect her though I do not want to.
She wants to see something else.
Something I am not able to show her.
She stands there tugging at her skin,
with a look in her eyes that I am saddened to copy.
She cries, and as her wet tears hit the floor
mine dry hit the silver emptiness to which I am kept.
She falls foward as I do the same.
She's ashamed to look at me.
I do not wish to make her weep.

I smash.
Not because she is hideous.
But because she is beautiful.
And she will never know it.

It it my fault?
I suppose she just needs a knew mirror. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 340 [topic] => 32 [informant] => LauraMary [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

The truth behind the broken mirror

She walks over and stares at me.
I reflect her though I do not want to.
She wants to see something else.
Something I am not able to show her.
She stands there tugging at her skin,
with a look in her eyes that I am saddened to copy.
She cries, and as her wet tears hit the floor
mine dry hit the silver emptiness to which I am kept.
She falls foward as I do the same.
She's ashamed to look at me.
I do not wish to make her weep.

I smash.
Not because she is hideous.
But because she is beautiful.
And she will never know it.

It it my fault?
I suppose she just needs a knew mirror.

such a vivid style, you had my imagination

on a leash as though you were walking me

through your heart and soul . . .

for my wife of 41 years, like your poetry, she

to is magnificent, she's my insperation and

my eternal love . . . again thank you and keep

up the splended writting . . .

This has always been one of my favorites
"I smash.
Not because she is hideous.
But because she is beautiful.
And she will never know it."
I love that. So much. Gooosh this is so original and so emotional and just. Incredible. :)

Sorry about that.
Didn't even realise I made such an obvious mistake!
