Truth or lies…
Mirror: Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 18
Tarnished!
She leaned in,
peered into the mirror’s
mottled depths,
then reared back
disbelief washing over her
Vanished!
She, the ‘Belle of the Ball’
was nowhere in sight.
Lies!
The mirror couldn’t lie
Not tonight!
Their night
His ‘Darling Debutante’
no longer returned her gaze
Time, the cruel taskmaster
decreed instead that a
creased and careworn face
looked out at her in a daze.
The Mirror
hadn’t lied…
the years had fled
leaving her stranded
Alone
Without Him.

Sad but true, when I look in the mirror these days, so I try to avoid it. I don't know where the years went.
Oh my gosh - this is is so heartbreaking, but I think also relatable. How many of us just wait hoping the one is going to find us that we don't just live our lives and love ourselves - we lose ourself in that image we hope they are looking for.
How sad!! I'm off to continue the tale and hoping for a happy ending!
