Note: Before any of you worry, this did not happen to me. This is just something that came to my mind like most everything else I have written.

The Shattered Mirror

I wake out of my bed
Stumble to the bathroom I see,
Your reflection, so beautiful
Staring back at me.
Am I still in a dream
Wishing to be with you,
Or am I so in love
It's all I can do.

I pull back and draw a fist
Into the mirror I hit,
Your reflection disappeared
As I felt my skin split.
The mirror shattered
Falling into the sink,
Pieces of my heart fell
As I heard the pieces clink.

When reality bites you
You begin to reflect,
The long distance love
You knew to expect.
The pieces in the sink
Stare back up at me,
With you still smilin
At what could be.

As I felt the pain
Of the cuts on my hand,
Why does it have to be
The distance across the land?
With the blood pouring out
I feel my heart, bleed as well
A bandage won't heal the pain
But it helps to yell.

My hand will heal in time
Leaving behind a few scars,
Unlike the wound in my heart
A prisoner behind bars.
No escaping, from the pain
That I feel deep within,
Why can't love come easy
So my life can begin?

Mirrors may shatter, yet our Souls will always remain wholly intact

Drat! U'r words hit hard today. Intact yet polluted can occur. Thx.

Nice write my friend.

Poignant and beautiful........

some things don't come easy so we appreciate them more when they finally arrive.
