I - Might - as - Well - Love - Another - Me

I let my pain engulf me for a while
Closing my eyes I let it slowly, painfully, seep in
My life of strife, my disillusionment
I allow them to pierce my already bleeding heart

Tainted years of youth already lost
Innocence??? There’s nothing left
The memories haunt me. They’ve come to irk me
Ripping me apart, leaving my flesh bare, my ribcage dangling by the noose...

I arose from my slumber, unbury my head of tears
Walked across the mantelpiece to the mirror
My heart thumps hard against my chest as I stared hard into my likeness
The tears literally clear, leaving my iris stone cold, glazed over by a layer of frost

From then on I’m devoid of emotions…
I glared into the mirror; I like the new reflection I see
Slowly, a bittersweet smile touch my lips
Then I decided
I – might – as – well – love – another – me

This poem compells me to ponder the theory of M.P.D...or D.I.D. It was a wonderful display of your feelings...There was one part that confused me - the walking across the mantelpiece thing...Still, a good poem.

Ahh... Thanks for enlightening me. =) *sigh* I always was too kinda slow at figuring good poems out. Loving oneself is important. =)
