You’ve been cheating on the rules of the game, my dear,
Believing that I wouldn’t catch you lying to my face,
Smiling that pretty smile.
Don’t think that I’m so naïve…
Breaking through glass,
Is such an easy feat,
But that’s not what I’m made of.
I once was strong,
Once was, fearless,
But you broke me,
Down.
I’ve seen your eyes darting away from mine,
Guilt will do that to you I guess.
I know that we’re just sitting here in purgatory now,
With no plans of leaving.
It might even be better in hell,
Cause at least there I know I’d have feeling…
I’ve found my answer about what to do, with you.
I’ll leave this place, go somewhere far away,
Break all the mirrors that I’ve ever had to stare into.
Because every time I do
I know that somehow I’ll always find,
You.
Author notes
yea, it was herself she kept trying to avoid. I wanted to write something different.

I love the approach you've taken to delve inward. I noticed in the "Give it your all" contest you were awarded HM. Nice job and thank you for entering the contest and best wishes

DEEP
What an emotional poem, really good! Rings true for many! Good luck in the Contest!(In the second line I think you meant to say face instead.)

Wow
Very deep, It's one of those poems that makes you want to search deep into your very being to find meaning, and revelation. Very well written, great flow, stirring emotion. Very true statement about the pain of past mistakes, and self disapointment.
