"Be the change you want to see in the world."


I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
Two tearful green eyes
Staring back at me.

They show no content.
They only show grief.
They show pain and sorrow.
They show disbelief.

The day that you left
Was the day they first cried.
A broken hearted soul
Dies slowly inside.

Flashbacks of memories
Dreams of your face
Your shadow still haunts me.
My heart’s out of place.

You left me alone.
I cry late at night.
Was it ever meant to be?
Will it ever feel right?

I miss your strong arms
Keeping me warm and safe.
I close my eyes...I see you.
I wonder if it’s too late.

But until you return,
If you ever do,
These green eyes will be crying...
Crying over you.

I wrote this poem for all the girls who have gone through a rough break up. Tears are shed. Bridges are burned. Lessons are learned. Everyone goes through it sometime. So this poem is to let those people are hurting know that they are not alone.
