It was not me
who you loved.

It was not me who you saw,
but rather the mirror you put before me.

It was not my voice you heard,
but rather your own echo.

The mirror you held between us was fragile.
Slowly it began to crack.
Each time I held you closer,
the mirror began to disintegrate.

The more the mirror began to break,
The more you saw me.
But you cannot stand to not stare
at your own reflection.

As the mirror shattered,
so did my heart.
You picked up the chards and threw them to my skin.
For you do not see the blood coursing through my veins,
but rather the lack of yourself.

For it was not me who you loved,
but rather your
mirror.

Her wail drowned in a deep, black ocean
So atrocious to be subdued by her own body
She locked the gate to her mind and hid the key in her heart
For who would find it and care enough to save her soul from complete numbness?
Her body instead consumed the scars and her depression slowly drained her of life
"For who would notice?" her mind thought with a sharpteethed grin
"The good die young, thus it means I'm good?" the girl quietly asked herself
And then laughed
For she couldn't cry
Couldn't care less
Couldn't see herself any longer
It was HER life and she would either die in vain now, close her eyes and drift away peacefully when the time comes, or break and deal with the pain alone
For the truth may hurt, but secrets ****
Thus she kept quiet to not concern anybody but herself
But even then her unbearable suffering went unseen, unheard
And the one way out always echoed in the back of her head
Taking over har actions
She cut
She bled
She prayed
She could finally scream loud
'Cause...she's dead
A mirroring of my own depression, thoughts I think and feelings I feel. I'm still a beginner so I would love tips for improvement

If I look into your eyes, I see a world, I never knew.
If I look into your eyes, I see freedom, peace and harmony.
If I look into your eyes, I see love and caring.
If I look into your eyes, I see beyond all limits.

If I look into your eyes, I see a mirroring of me.
But in way, I never saw myself before.
You changed me into what I always was. ♥
You make me feel beautiful. ♥
You make me feel myself in another way. ♥

Dear Me,
            You ask only others if your work is good, you never actually trust in your own judgment. People have told you your writing is beautiful, so why don't you believe them? It must be the same reason you don't find yourself beautiful, because when you read your work or look in the mirror you wish it were different. For others to enjoy something even more the maker should be confident, so why aren't you? I hear you telling people who love you, you have no worth. I hear you telling yourself in the mirror you hate what you see. I hear you crying at night because of all the hate you hold for yourself. I hear you sitting in your bed gouging your heart out every night because you wish to be different. I've wrote to tell you to stop! When you do this you're hurting me the most, for I am the only one who's tortured by these sounds, for I am the only one forced to hear them everyday. Please stop, for you are killing me! I don't want to suffer anymore...... Please, I can't take this pain much longer. I know you're stronger than this! So please, please....... Please......just stop.

You are the eagle
Lifting my heart into
Unexplored realms
Of azure expanse.

You are the wild wolf
Howling my yearnings
into the crisp frost
Of twilight skies.

A tiger in the shadows
With the flame
Of all my passions
Burning in your eyes.

— The End —
