Notes About The Poem
Author's Note: Palindromic Rictameter (or Rictamirror? lol) is the only way I can think to identify this; as it follows the rules of a Rictameter but also reads the same forward and back. It was not the goal but it definitely worked this under-challenged brain. I added two syllables in the center transition which is to be, or be related to, the title. FYI, it is a pain.

Reflecting

Love is pain. Knew she that? Now. Did it feelings change? Did she learn? That, only time tells. "Mirror, will I hate? Mirror... Heal I will!" Mirror? "Will I Heal? Mirror! ...hate I will!" Mirror tells time only. That, learn she did. Change feelings it did. Now that she knew pain is love.

The mirror can show you the truth, even if it is painful, a beautiful and brave poem~
