Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Mirror Mirror On the Wall

she doesn't understand
and waits for him to speak his mind
she wants to know what's in his heart
she doesn't know where they both stand

this waiting game is not her strong suit
still she refuses to upset the cart
she stops to think of what could be
it somehow doesn't make it easier

she thinks of how without warning
she lost her freedom
that instant she let go of her heart
falling for a man who was there but not

now she looks at her reflection
wondering if her destiny
is to remain cold and alone
with love just out of reach

Sotto Poet October 24, 2022 at 7:02 AM Line, it hurts so badly when love is out of your grasp. This poem obviously had a lot of beauty, to begin with, but your imagery and the amazing vocabulary you used added much more. Line Gauthier October 24, 2022 at 8:45 AM Thank you very much, Sotto. Most appreciated ~
