Mirror


I wrote this poem as an experiment to understand the poetic form of "Double Etheree" better. It is not my best work but I am sure one day I will be able to write it perfectly.  

Mirror

Once,
I saw
her, aching
with the pain of
separation, with
tears falling from her eyes
and smile miles away from her.
But still she was not dejected.
She wanted to compromise with grief,
so that happiness can blossom again,

so that love can conquer her heart yet again.
Committed, to fight for herself again,
she dried her tears and stood to leave.
I wanted to wish her luck,
But was scared to see
her face, reflecting,
my pain, my vow
in mirror
standing
there.
