my mistake

08/2011

I'm sorry, I thought I knew you

and I didn't mean to stare but

was that a smile of recognition

right before the hateful glare

No..your right, your not her

the girl I knew was full of hope

your possessed and full of anger

barely able to cope

Promise me that if you see her

you'll tell her that I'm sorry and I really care 

and that I miss her looking back at me

from the mirror we used to share

I like this poem. Made your point with gentle and kind words. Hard to watch people change directions. I like the ending. Always good to leave with kindness and a open door for the good people in a life. A excellent poem.

I know this feeling and, tragedically, my ex-ex boyfriend knows how it made me feel. You can keep coming back, but you can't take away the hurt!

Awe this poem make me smile. I liked the point within it too. It is hard to see people you love change right before you. I have seen it. My friends have seen it. I've changed a lot and my friends didn't like it. They stuck by me though. So yeah....I can relate to this poem. Thanks for sharing. :D

The mirror...no reflection is devastating. And perhaps it is because she lost hers?
