jar of hearts (a poetry story)

the mirror

he was no where to be found,

the only memory i had of him,
was the past

every time i looked at myself in the mirror,

i saw you,

i saw you standing behind me,

smiling

i didn't turn around,
because i knew you weren't going to be there

i turned off the lights,
and walked away

i went to shower,
looking at my naked body in the mirror,

i saw you again

just smiling,

that smile that got me through anything

i went in the shower as the warm water hits my body,

warm tears stream my face when i know i can never have you again

who do you think you are coming into my dreams making them so real to waking up to it just being false?

now you're in my mirror,
and i cannot hear or touch you

and now i feel everything i once did all over again

i touched my mirror with my hand,
and your hand aligned with mine

and just once,

just once

it felt warm

and i smiled just like you

in the mirror
