Two-Sided Mirror, Poem Options

[Sa-Chan]

My new poem. Enjoy.

-------------------------

I'm moving my lips to the sound of my breaking heart,
It'd be easier to make this declaration if you'd look me in the eyes.
Loving you wasn't just a plan or a motive,
Loving you was one girl, making one last stand.
But the stand was ultimately flawed and torn at the center,
And the girl was left shattered, alone, and unheard.

I'm having trouble pin-pointing the perfect words,
But didn't you always say I had the most beautiful dialect you'd ever heard?
Maybe that was a lie like all of the others you've told,
Left to grow, like weeds, in what was once our garden of Eden.
I'd play Eve, if you'd play Adam,
To bad we played our parts wrong when you betrayed me.

You look so dumbfounded, confused, and bewildered,
As I try, without luck, to convey my emotions to their fullest.
I've been ranting and raving for too many days,
Trying to get you to understand how to understand me.
I've thought out every beginning, every middle, and every ending,
But nothing ever seems to go the way I think it should.

I'm watching you with tender, loving eyes that glisten with tears,
Praying rain will pour down to make the tears disappear.
But either way you don't seem to notice,
It's a two-sided mirror: I see you, but you don't see me.
I've put on my make-up, and dolled up my hair,
The lack of acknowledgement can hardly be considered fair.

Hoping you'd care about anything I said,
Was like hoping that I could forget what you meant to me.
Screaming for love, and for passion was my mistake,
I should have screamed out in rage, and in pain.
I'd play Barbie, if you'd play Ken,
Two plastic bodies to match your plastic heart.

I'm begging you just to look at me,
It's not all that much to ask for really.
I'm begging you to hold me like that night,
When you climbed through my window and my smile was real.
I wish you wouldn't walk away like that,
Because I'm still saying what you're afraid to hear.

I loved this. It was really moving and I could relate to it really well.

I'd play Barbie, if you'd play Ken,
Two plastic bodies to match your plastic heart.

I liked that line.
