Mirror Image

Her river all dried up,
I hear screaming..
I feel hot wet streaks race down my face.
I feel my heart ripping itself apart.
You lay there.
Motionless.
Blank eyes staring.
I know you better than anyone else.
I know why you did this to yourself.
I know why you first picked up that blade all those years ago.
I know why you decided to end your life.
I knew why you hid your pain behind laughter,
Why you smiled when you would rather die,
Why no one ever saw the truth.
You hid it so well from everyone.
But you couldn't hide it from the reflection in your mirror.
