Mirrors Never Lie

Some days seem endless Each passing hour doesn’t pass fast enough They stay and linger as you empty yourself of emotion Believing that it is better To be numb and dead than living and writhing in pain Knowing the world will forget your name Some nights end too fast Each shining star doesn’t shine bright enough They rush to fade and hide And the dawn just can’t wait To end a dream and start a nightmare But you never wanted to sleep anyway You just didn’t want to stay awake But today I am beside you And it’s okay, throw your worries away I’ll calm your raging storm I’ll embrace your numb heart I’ll warm your coffee in the morning I'll soften your pillow at night And you may not look for me often But I’ll be here for you always Believe me, mirrors never lie

Hey Skat A Thanks for the friendly comment. I'm pretty new to poetry but what really got me was the Spoken word/Slam poetry so right now I'm trying it out with this one
