The Missing Reflection
As I look into the mirror
I see something
Something that's not right
There's a creature
Lovely on the outside
But on the inside
There's something dark
There used to be light in her
But now it's gone
There used to be laughter in her
But now there's silence
Her heart
It aches
Her heart
It bleeds
Like rain coming from a storm cloud
She's about to fall
Will the cloud break?
Maybe
Will the light in her come out?
Maybe
As I look into the mirror
I see something
That may be right
And yet
Maybe it's not
Something wrong with this poem?
