I saw you
In the mirror today
Over my shoulder
Or at least
It looked like you
Anyway
It can be hard to tell
I guess
You've changed so much
I wanted
To look again
But turned away
I didn't want to face
Those feelings
I guess
I miss you so
And the times
We had
And I want
To tell you so
But
You've gone away
So many things
Need to be put right
But my words'll go dry
One sound from you and I'd cry
My beautiful girl
Beauty shines from you
Will you ever shine
For me again?
But no doubt
Your heart burns
Elsewhere
And I'm not sure
I could take anymore
Emotions from the past that still throb in the present, eloquently captured!

I would like to translate this poem
Cleverly expressed using the mirror and as a reflection of the past. This is a highly evocative poem. Great writing. HG: -) xx
