Mental Doppelganger

10-25-2012 He is my mental doppelgänger His thoughts are one with mine I can feel the words leave from his lips Because I see them in my mind All that talk of mixed emotions Did not accompany my cries Because I knew just what he needed And what he needed was more time More time to heal both broken hearts So we could leave all baggage behind But we both were falling far too fast Crippling fear forced us to rewind So I stand here staring at a stranger Who once gazed into my eyes And told me “You are my mental doppelgänger. Your thoughts are one with mine.”

Hey, this is a lovely poem Abigail. It's rare to find that one person you can connect with mentally, and when that connection is broken, it's never easy. Well penned!

I am puzzled, you entered this in the Romantic English Quintain contest, was it entered in error. The only acceptable form for the contest is English Quintain, perhaps you could kindly remove it and write a Quintain that follows the contest rules, thank you
