Mending the pieces of my broken heart,
the more I try the more it falls apart.
Each day I tell myself that I will be alright.
How long must I tell myself this
before I believe the lie.
I can no longer see you.
The looking glass has been shattered.
The shards lay on the floor.
I try to pick them up but they cut me to the core.
I wish not to see you.
I can not bear to see you.
If I were to see you what would I see?
Would I see you looking back at me,
or would you simply be falling from me?
And so I live with the lie and embrace its warmth.
I live each day as if all is ok.
Sometimes I may fall but I must pick myself up,
or learn how to crawl.
I question the worth of this thing I still hold.
I question why it has grown so cold.
So I put on a face as I walk through this world,
trying to hold on to the lie,
hoping that it becomes truth,
trying to mend without falling apart
and knowing at the end of the day
all I have is myself.

i think this is true for everyone, aren't we all living a lie?

Wow, emotional and truthful poem. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the feelings of not wanting to look at yourself and feeling at the same time that you're alone and yourself is the only thing you have.
'So I put on a face as I walk through this world,
trying to hold on to the lie,

I know the feeling, pretending everything is ok and hoping that one day it actually will be. But I find that it's so difficult sometimes to put on the face.
I love how this is written.

Good Job
This is a well crafted poem , captured clearly what one thinks in this type of situation.
I know how you feel , it's so hard to move on sometimes and sometimes pretending to yourself and others that your ok ,seems to be the only way. I've been there, and done that as they say.

I loved these lines, they were deeply touching, my friend. It's good to see you here again and read some of your work, hope everything is alright and that life is going ok.
You should not stop writing because writing eases the soul and helps wounds to mend.
Much love

Thank you Noor its good to hear from you as well. I'm glad that you enjoyed this piece. Unfortunatley the only time I seem able to write anything is when I have one of those days. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully I'll be able to write when I'm not having one of those days.
