Poems of a Broken Heart

The Man in the Mirror

The Man in the Mirror

By GeniusMonkey

You whispered goodbye and I fell apart

Songs of true love has broken my heart

An arrow pierced through it and I'm in vain

Because of the cupid who brings forth pain.

I wish not to trouble you anymore,

But my heart bleeds every minute of the day

I wish not to love you forevermore,

But by doing so I felt I've lost my way.

I looked at the mirror and saw a miserable man

He thinks of her for he knows she's the one,

His heart is crushed and his soul is burned

"Why?" He asked himself "Why do I feel this cold?"

"Why am I so in love?" he continued to think.

"Why do I love her so? Is it because I'm weak?"

"Why do birds sing though I only hears cries?"

Loving her made him feel stupid and unwise.

But still the man in the mirror loves her so,

"Poor man", he said to himself as tears flow.

Her words were like daggers stabbing him

But he thought he is the only one to blame,

He can't move nor breath, he can't laugh nor smile,

He's been acting stupid and insane for a long while.

He is only human that is why he also weeps and cry,

And slowly but surely this man is going to die.

It's very true what other people say,

That loving someone more than yourself can kill you

And that love is stupid in all such way,

So the man in the mirror is now lonely and blue.

In fact he is buried with bitterness and hate

And the option of escape is already too late,

He screams from the never ending pain so he died

Her love is cruel, bitter-sweet and is unkind,

How he wished to just make everything disappear

Because loving a girl like her is hard to bear.

All the more she is coming back to haunt him,

That's why his simple life will never the same.

She is like a ghost that wakes him at night

Everywhere he looks she's there on his sight,

She interrupts her peaceful morning reverie

A bug that fills his brain with her memory-

He can still see her even with his closed eyes

He loved her even though she is is full lies.

He drowns himself in a lake of tears and sadness

She is a work of art with beauty and madness,

She caused him grief that nobody can feel

A wound of loneliness that no one can heal.

She's a beautiful monster that breaths fire and ice,

She'll freeze and melts you until you realize,

You've lost and she's already eating your head

Your heart turned to stone from the words she said

How tortured he is as she kisses him like an angel

And slaps him like a demon for she's so evil.

She is insane but he is just crazy about her,

He loves her for as long as he can remember

"This has to stop!" The man said in his disgust

For my love for her is destined to never last,

My reflection on the mirror tells me to move on

So I punched him and my hand bleeds too soon,

Shattered glass entered my skin but I smile

Because I looked at him vanished in just a while.

Yes, it's painful, it's stupid, it's ridiculous,

I'm proud of myself for what I did is courageous,

The man in the mirror has found his destiny,

He died and may he rest in peace in eternity.
