"was once"
Some piece of me broke-
finally giving way
and I'm not sure who it is
still standing here
in front of this mirror.
Perhaps in this reflection
sits a life filled with pleasures
without apprehension,
Or perhaps a depression so deep
it smiles-yet a smile
can no longer be found
anywhere
in this reflection,
Perhaps a life reflected
that is so far away
that what stands here
is but only a memory
of what
was once.
