UNRETURNED LOVE -by emily merideth
I see him
sitting across the room
and wonder what he's thinking
Sometime I wish it's me he dreams about
but I know that's not true.
He's never serious,
and is always joking around.
Like that one time he talked to me
Sometimes I wish he was serious,
and that I could tell him how I feel.
Tell him he's all I think about
and have him say the same to me
If I felt lonely or sad or scared,
he would hold me and listen to my problems.
Instead, he lead me along, then dropped me.
Leaving me in this cold, bitter world.
Alone.
He doesn't love me,
he never did.
It was all just a cruel joke.

A MIRROR'S REFLECTION
The person in
the mirror
is so familiar
yet a stranger to my eyes.
this isn't the person I saw
just a few weeks ago.
Look at her eyes.
They have a story to tell.
Secrets no one know.
She looks troubled,
bothered by something.
Her past is a secret, no one can know
of the things she's done before.
A simple lie that was told
can shatter her life in a second.
No, not just hers, someone else to.
Why it was said remains a mystery.
The truth will never be known.
But that's all over now.
It's all history.
All that is known is that
by tomorrow,
one less troubled sould will be on
the face of this miserable planet.

REALITY
I've always
been told
to reach for the stars
and somday I'll go far
But that's hard to do
when there's a black hole
tearing up my soul.
So afraid of failure.
Terrified by the thought of rejection
I nearly kill myself for perfection
The person in the mirror laughs
while showing me as me,
not who I wish to be.
