Broken mirror on the wall
What secrets can you see?
Do you merely cast reflection?
Or can you see the heart of me?
What powers lie within
Your polished sheet of glass?
Can you conjure up my hist'ry
or unveil what is to pass?
I put my best face forward
but I cannot hide from you
no matter my disguises
the truth will still show through
But the truth is often relative
to those who dare to look
a reflection of the heartache
and the heart and soul you took
Forgotten mirror on the wall
is love a fairytale?
or is it something real and living
and worth enduring such hell?
Mirror, is it pointless
to love in spite it all?
is it worth the chance of pain
that may come if I should fall?
Your answers don't come easy
but look to you, I must
before I'm lost completely
and all I know is dust
Broken mirror on the wall
you know what I try to hide
I said I didn't love him
Only you know I lied

it usually is in the mirror that we truly see ourselves [as it reflects what is in our eyes]and this write definitely addressesd that [as if you were speaking not only to the mirror but to yourself as well. Your rhyme is un-forced and reads very smoothly. May I suggest though that in S2 L3 you spell history out in its entirety , as the rest of the poem has no other word that is used in that form? Merely a suggestion for you to consider,

this is a good write revealing many things. I tend to believe one can look into the mirrow and see God looking back through their eyes. We see through a glass darkly but when we see Him face to Face we will know... thanks for the write. It reminded me of reality

Great writing! It is obvious that these feelings are straight from your heart. Your reader is able to identify with what you are saying, and relate to the emotion. Very well done. Keep on writing!

Awesome
I love this poem, it's so creative and I love your use of a mirror as a way to say you cannot hide from the truth. It doesn't stumble or faulter in the rythmn and rhyme, it flows perfectly. It's a simple poem but it definitly gets the feelings across. Great write!
