The Reflection
Overwhelming...
I didn't realize your beauty until
I looked into the mirror and saw it in my eyes,
I didn't realize your sincerity until
I listened to myself repeating your words,
I didn't realize your sex appeal until
I smelled your perfume on "my" shirt in "our" closet,
I didn't realize the meaning of friendship until
I had to share it with him,
I didn't realize how much you loved me until
you told me you called out my name while he
was inside of you.
I didn't realize how much I missed you until
I attended your funeral, standing there crying,
I wished your husband had handled it better...
I didn't realize your beauty until

I didn't realize your sex appeal until

I didn't realize the meaning of friendship until
I had to share it with him,

I didn't realize how much I missed you until
I attended your funeral, standing there crying,
I wished your husband had handled it better...

I like surprise endings...
@ dance, really, I love suprise beginnings...
You never know what you got until its gone.
Wow!
This is really saying things to me for reasons I care not to share, but all I can say is DAMN! DEEP! I love reading your work. It has an interesting tendency of grabbing the reader by collar and getting all up in their face! Some times with a mirror, others with a challenge to think, but never without a strong result.
Thanks for the read.
Ok...well I suspect that you'll be surprising me by the second line next time.
i'm with isha on this one... WOW! & i gotta second mis understood since it is indeed true that no one truly misses what they had until it's no longer a part of their day-to-day existence. this is some classic slump facade ish. well done, poet!
Peacez...
Well damn. Surprised me again. It wouldnt be you without a surprise ending. I really enjoyed this piece...with your morbid ass :)
@ Slump
Why did I know you and Bigger knew each other? I was like, "hmmm this guy sounds like Slump" :)
Bringing your freaky friends to my blog, I told you I dont get down like that :)
"I didn't realize your beauty until
I looked into the mirror and saw it in my eyes,

this is truly passionate and revealing. reads like it started out one way then turned another way though? in case you didnt know it, i love it when you're thoughtfully pensive mr. facade...
deep.
well written! I just hope this didn't happen in real life!!!
i like this, hindsight is somethin' ain't it?
hell naw...the husband part surprised me.
your a fool!!
LMAO!!! Just like you...I knew this was going somewhere, just had to be patient to find out where. I really enjoyed this one but you know I am biased towards all your stuff. Good job man, don't get anyone else killed in the meantime LOL!!
Can't wait for your published work...
