Reach out

I was walking by

Just pacing by

And I stopped

I saw something shimmer

out of the corner of

my eye

I turned and saw a girl

with a metal necklace

A metal cross

I looked back up to her face

Her eyes

were so sad

Filled with sorrow, pain, longing

Her lips

were so red

Frowning as if shes never smiled

She stood there

Simply standing

Watching me watch her

She made me want to cry for her

I felt I should stop and help her

ask her

'Whats wrong?'

I was compelled

to comfort her, bring her solace

I reached out for her

She did the same

I moved towards her

She did the same

I blinked, she blinked

And I studied

the girl I saw

Staring back at me

with those eyes

Showing all her loss

all she's endured

all she sees

With those lips

quivering

silently pleading

for escape

The words to speak

were gone

I could only show

my concern

by watching her

And nothing more

My eyes spoke the words

I could not voice out to her

Telling her

'It's alright.'

But she showed no sign

Of caring

I felt tears leave my eyes

The sight of her

Made me cry

She saw me weep

And she too cried

We both wept

I looked down, away from her gaze

Down to my own chest

Where I saw a metal cross

It was then I realized

The girl with those sad eyes

and pleading lips

Was only a reflection

in the mirror in front of me

	...wow this really struck a cord... Being one who often finds himself picking up the shattered pieces of broken beauty, It really spoke to me. I wrote a poem, Lamentations of a Wilted Rose, that captures some of my own views in this. very good writing.

	So I liked this one as well. I call these poems reflection poems, 'cause everyone seems to have one. Yours captured my interest and held it to the very last line. You put your own spin on it, and it worked out very well. I love the short lines and almost broken thoughts throughout the whole thing. It was almost as if you were seeing your reflection in water and the ripples broke the image a little every once in a while. That was the thought I had I guess. Sorry I'm rambling....I did enjoy the poem!
