I stare at the mirror and see a broken reflection
Feigning again as she hid her shattered discombobulation
Despite her dampen eyes, nobody seemed to care about her
She seemed covert and invisible
I looked farther and see her smiling
She used to be beautiful, but now she's lying
Her shattered face has gone
She was now okay
I looked closer than the first time I did
And saw what she once terribly hid
An ocean of tears
A river of tears
It was too sad to look at
I can't take it
I can't dare to look any longer
Her eyes
Her broken red eyes
Her smile has melted
Like it never truly existed
She's far too gone
Waiting
Praying
For someone's hand
For someone's help
Or maybe
Just maybe
For her moment
Her death

I wrote this poem amidst my depression. I was truly lost that time. I forgot everything that mattered most to me, and I knew that I needed to let it out. And so I did through caging it to a bunch of words where it may somehow touch those who feel the same.
