Mirror

To be left with merely emptiness
To have only memories inside of me
Everything else stripped away
Looking in a mirror to the image I gaze at
Is not me...
I didn't have ghosts lurking in my eyes
I didn't have the haunted look of a troubled person
The outer shell of the girl I once new is myself
Yet not
My soul has changed
In so many ways
The number I can not count
Memories of happiness
Are faded on my mind
But not on my heart
These memories of happiness
Created a gaping wound on my heart
That may never be healed
I remember that
To be left with merely emptiness
To have only memories inside of me
Everything else stripped away
The girl I see in the mirror is
Empty
