MIRROR, a poem by Windarti

MIRROR

I saw her cry, at the corner .

In the midst of the night, silently .

A poor lonely child, heartbreaking .

Her eyes are red full of tears, stare .

Yet the anger radiates the room, strongly .

The look in her eyes full of revenge, blindly .

She walked towards me, eagerly .

            A poor lonely child, stood before me .

            I wanna hug her but I couldn’t,

            Stood still, time flew .

            I touched her hand, she touched mine .

            I wiped her tears with my hand .

            I said it is okay, just close your eyes .

            When I opened my eyes,

            She was gone, left me alone with a

            Mirror .
