Despair
All those frozen moments
Live forever in my glass
A mirror tells no lies
Just of truth present and past
It can Taunt and mock.
Sometimes it even bars my path
With my laugh, dry as air
Whipping my empty stare,
Reflected in my mirror.
My eyes bleed tears.
I laugh and jeer
At the soul trapped there.
I made it so far
But i still am despair.

Simple but vivid and true, as I've come to know your writing style to be. A great piece, Gg!
I like, "But I still am despair." Hey, have you read the Sandman comics? Check them out if you haven't. Despair is a character in them. She's one of the Endless, as is her brother and their siblings. An amazing series that I thoroughly recommend to all. :)

Deep, very deep and heavy. But from where I sit...THREE CHEERS FOR BLOODY TEARS!!!!! Such a sweet and salty taste, so much so it shouldn't go to waste. Warmly the scent falls into place as the effluence continuously falls from your face. Hanging my guilt ridden head I say my grace before the feast of your sacrificial soul begins in haste!
Sorry, don't know where that came from.....Great poem though
