Who Has She Become [?]

Lately the reflection in the mirror of me,
Isn't what I expect it to be . . .


The image in my mind,
Is broken, at fault and alone -
But that's not what I find . . .


Instead I'm putting on my makeup and doing my hair,
As if I simply do not care  . . .


Oh, he taught me to hide it well,
Even from myself - I cannot tell . . .


Though late at night - sometime past one,
When the radio plays sad songs -
I cry until they're completely done . . .


I swear that's the only thing giving me away,
All the sad songs he dedicated to me when they play . . .


Each one carries a memory strangling every thought,
And then they destroy me remembering each time we fought . . .


This girl half - heartedly smiling back at me,
Is so unfamiliar - caught somewhere between her fantasy and reality . . .


She walks away - but I'm still standing there,
Will she be okay?
At emptiness - I stare . . .

Once agin very relatable for me!!
I'm not sure but I think u may have been talking about a relationship but either way I was with a guy that made me unhappy & i did not know he made me feel that way till we broke up & suddenly I'm happier.
This is beautiful...My fave line was
"She walks away - but I'm still standing there,
Will she be okay?
At emptiness - I stare . . ."
I know this feeling very well & u express it perfectlly!
Great Write!!
