Reflection

This poem is a work of Fiction. By the artist Jeila Ortega, me. Hope you will like and follow Twisted Art Gallery on Facebook and Instagram. Now, without further ado:

Go ahead

                             Take that poison pill and

                                                              stuff it down your throat.

                                                                                              I may only be a reflection,

                                                       but I see where this is going.

                                                                                                                                    Or should I say where it ended.

                                                                                                   I sound bitter you say.

                                                                                                                            Well, it ended too soon.

                                                                Now, I am only a reflection

                                                                                                                Standing still

                                                                               in a sea of memories.

                                                              I digress,

                                                                                            I must be

                                                                                                                          Bitter

                                                                                                       Sweet

                                                                                   imprisoned

                                                                                                         In your

                                                                                                     Eternal

                                                                                                            Despair

                                                                                                             Only a reflection, 

                                                                             SCREAMING FOR YOU  TO  STOP!!!

                                                                                                        But nothing will change

                                                                                                                   I am only a reflection,

                                                                                                                             THE PAST CAN’T BE CHANGED!!!!

                                                                                 I am only a reflection,

                                                                                                                          A collection of memories....
