Reflection In The Mirror Poem by Michelle Guza

The word goodbye is a reflection in the mirror
Staring at me as I rethink my painful thought
Whispering to the reflection of me
“Should I leave this in my memory? ”
Taking a step closer and connecting with the hands of my reflection
Take a deep breath and feel it all threw
Why do I feel like letting go of you
Looking deep into the eyes of that of a falling tear
In my thoughts I hold on to you ever so dear
Am I ready to forget everything that I always felt
The hope for you just seems to melt
Looking at my self from head to toe
I whisper “its time to go”
But the voice in the back of my head
Wont let me go till I say every word I never said
Feeling the most confusing I ever thought I could feel
Looking in the mirror to think “this just isn’t real”
I fall to the floor I know there is something for me to decide
Is it possible to still care for the one that was never there when I cried
Hearing all the thoughts that never make sense
Once again I start to whisper for the words I need to hear…
“I know what I should do I just cant bring myself to make it complete”
But with out you I feel so incomplete
Thinking of what would happen if I cant let go of you
Watching everything I fought for go out the window
But having the strength to say goodbye isn’t something that I yet know
I just cant say goodbye but then I punch the mirror showing my reflection
Feeling the blood rush from the side of my hand
Maybe now you will understand...
