The reflection in the water
By Mistress Morbid
The things I want in life
Are of the reflections in the water
When I go to touch it
It ripples and fades away
Only then to reappear
To toy and taunt with my head
For then again I try to touch it
It ripples and fades away
Sometimes it's laughing at me
And at times it would glare
I would still try to touch it
But it ripples and fades away
Everyday I would sit for hours
Staring at the reflection in the water
I reach out my hand and try to touch it
But it ripples and fades away
When I look in the mirror I see a hideous face
And a beautiful girl in the water
I desperately try to touch it
But it ripples and fades away

Beautifully conveyed.. The way thoughts of our insecurities fade in and out of focus in our minds, and we create a picture of what we want but it remains forever untouchable. Stunning work.. And you ARE a beautiful girly. :) ~L

Why thank you! I have had those feelings in the past, and sometimes they are hard to get rid of.
