mirror images

i know that you are me
and i know that i am you
the face we share the same
but my soul is on this side

your eyes are void of compassion
there blank and glassy glare
frightens me to look
and know that i'm not there

who died and who still lives
i'm not sure i know the answer
the coldness in your stare
it scares me beyond my doubt

this was really interesting, it was definetally a good take on the picture I gave to inspire you
'the coldness in your stare
it scares me beyond my doubt'
possibly my favourite lines in the whole poem which I see as a good thing because to me it seems like a fairly strong ending.
Thanks for entering and good luck!
