Painful Reflections

by Ashli   Jul 11, 2005


I look in the mirror
at my eyes so full of pain
I watch from the side
As my hope for us dies in vain

The love I hold for you
is too strong to let go
I don't know what to do
Should I hold it inside, or let it show?

The pain leaks from my wrists
Blood pours down my fingers
Tears fall from my eyes
as I drop to the blood-stained floor

The lights are dimming
My eyes are starting to close
I feel as if I'm swimming
where I'm going, even I don't know

    Not sure about the "Only I know" bit. Maybe it would sound better as "I do not know". But then that would change it so...The looking in the mirror part is interesting, Its like you are trying to fond yourself there and helps to draw the reader in because they may imagine themselves as you at that moment...looking at their reflection in the mirror. Keep writing. X
