The stranger in the mirror

by a broken smile with a broken heart is a poets life   Feb 7, 2006


I look in the mirror,
and i see a stanger
looking back at me.
i see deep brown eyes,
i see a face with no motion.
i see that person in the mirror,
and i see the pain her eyes.
i see a beautiful face
with hiding scars.
then i look closer,
i see her past.
what she's been through
and her struggles in life.
i see how distant she is with others.
how life has treated her
and taken away her pureness.
i see what she's become,
a cold, unsensetive person
with a blank expression.
i see she doesn't care who sorrounds her.
i try to see more deep down.
i don't find anything.
only a heart drowning in hate.
but i don't give up i keep on,
searching for a light.
then i stop and see that light.
i knew there had to be something left.
i look in it and see the dreams she once had.
i see her first and only love.
then i see all dark,
i see her soul trap,
it's like in a box
fighting and trying to come out,
but the darkness is keeping it inside.
after seeing her past and knowing her feelings,
i go back to the image in the mirror
and see tears in her eyes.
finally, after searching so much, for so long.
i find peace and see a smile in her lips.
and that image and smile is from me.

    Nice poem, very nice poem. I'm disputing with myself whether or not the ending helps it or hurts it. Once again, very nice use of words, it has a very loose structure but it still flows quite nicely. I'd be interested to see how you write a poem with a rhyme scheme. If you can't come up with words that rhyme with eachother a great website for that is rhymezone.com I look forward to readin more of your poems. You are definitly going on my favorites list
