1st Poem

Hard subject this month! I had a pretty hard time figuring out what Lightwaves are. It probably has a very obvious meaning, one that I'm not aware of, but I've made up my own meaning. I think 'the memory of lightwaves' means a memory of better times. So I made up a man, who was happy once. He was in love, married perhaps, but something went wrong, and now he's all alone. I wanted to write about not wanting to think about the way it was, 'cause it's just to confronting.

---

He looks into the broken mirror 
A bleeding fist, a bleeding heart 
His reflection 
Distorted 
Alien 
Tears of fury form in his eyes 
Though he shall not cry 
Not anymore 

He looks into the broken mirror of what was 
And sees her face 
Beautiful 
Radiant 
Happy 
He collapses onto the ground 
Though he shall not cry 
Not anymore 

He curses the tears that run down his cheek
