Into Her Reflection

Self-worth overlooked 

By someone else's compliments, 

Draining the heart of its remains.

You see the words 

But read them back 

Completely void of their meaning, 

Smiling into the eyes 

Of an empty soul who never cared.

Walking numb, 

Stumbling over every picture. 

In the mind it never mattered; 

Nothing does in the eyes of love, 

Except that silly little feeling

Slowly eating you up inside, 

Devouring every ounce of self-respect 

And leaving nothing more behind.-
