[bodytext] => There's a sad man in the mirror He's looking right at me...in me I can't seem to avoid his stare He can't seem to avoid mine His eyes...oh his eyes... Piercing...accusing...pleading I can read his pain and anguish Dare I think he can read mine No matter the light...the dark He is always there...searching Hoping I will find him there Compelling me to find him there The lines on his face...familiar He traces his as I trace mine Our hands moving in unison Like some tragic pantomime How is he able to read my thoughts When I talk to him we echo Voicing the words I speak out loud Matching me scream for scream Sometimes he cries...tears of the lonely I feel them splash out of my eyes He seems to know my every emotion Mirroring them...exposing them On some days he looks happy...outside But I can feel his torment churning within The eyes always tell the true story Lost and alone...seeking connection His heart's been broken...I hear myself say Scars upon scars...nobody to soothe them I know what it feels like...hurts like We ache inside sharing the same pain He lets his guard down around me No reason to hide himself from me He knows that I know...that he knows No secrets between us...about us Another day...another day...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
