Girl from my reflection

by Lost Girl   May 5, 2005


No more dreams are left for me anymore
All those stupid thoughts I had have disappeared
It took a while, but now I am free once more
The storm ridden skies have finally cleared

I’m happy, laughing, joking, a smile upon my face
In the mirrors reflection I see a girl I think is me
But her ringing laugh sounds so fake to my ears
Not that it matters, it’s just what they can see

Inside I may be dying, but not in my reflection
That girl looks so happy, smile upon her lips
A look so different in her eyes, of sadness
As her bleeding heart leads her into eclipse

She whispers those sweet nothings in my ear
And the girl in my reflection tells me I was right
I am not happy, I am just a fake, liar and deceitful
I don’t deserve to smile, I should take my final flight

I feel my stomach turn as I watch her, contented
I look upon her face with my treacherous eyes
Deep inside her soul there is a girl who looks like me
And as this girl comes into vision her happiness dies

The girl in my reflection, I have now fully realized
Is not so different from myself, sad in her heart
But there is always a smile plastered on her face
So now I sit back and watch as we both fall apart

    Another five. Very good. You are finally the one person who can write a sad or dark poem without rhyming "life" with "strife". :) You're on my favorites.
