Mirror Image

by LettersFromEnnis   Nov 1, 2005


I stare into a mirror
Bright with silky sea
I try to see beyond whats able
But all that stares back is me

Im trying to see beyond
Something close to real
But theres no sort of use
Its blocked by the darkened seal

But suddenly the seal is taken away
Blown into the unseen air
Now I see an exposed mirror
Now I see whats there

I see beyond this reflection
I see past what I banished from my mind
I see all the concealed things
And all the things I could never find

I see myself standing
With her right next to me
Were standing on an ocean
Made of misty aqua green

We walk as one
Our hands sewn together
I could never let her go
And lose her forever

Then we face each other
Fall into a light kiss
We both are lost in our world
As we stand in an aura of bliss

Then we are running around in circles
And this day would come, I knew
But then a gun fires from a distance
And in her it goes through

Shes bleeding endless rivers
And she turns the ocean bright red
I wish this was an impossible dream
Just to end up awake in my bed

I cant stand this image
And I shatter the mirror in pieces
But then I start to shiver
And then I get a bad feeling

I call her on the phone
But theres no sort of answer
So then I run out of the house
Dont bother to shut the door

So I run where she said shed stay
And I see her in the middle of the street
Shes bleeding droplets from her chest
Im crying now so let me be

Everyone crowds around
Watching in disbelief
Some are even weeping
Hearing her barely breathe

Her glossy hazel hair
Waving all over the place
Lying in a graceful position
Lying in an ocean of red

I wish this never happened
I just didnt want to see it
So now I just stand here
Whishing it was all a mirror image

    Hey.. that was pretty gud, the best so far.... u reli captured the reader in the beginning, but in this stanza

    Shes bleeding endless rivers
    And she turns the ocean bright scarlet
    I dont know what to do
    And then I think, Now what?

    it seems kinda lame, "Now what?" part.. i dunno, it just doesnt fit..

    other than that.. ur poem was reli gud.. i was interested in finding out the ending.. kept me reading...

    keep it up
