Remembering my Reflection

The glass in front of me, smooth and clear,
Shows my face staring back at me.
My brown eyes, transparent from the tears held back.
Watered down from the sea behind them.
My cheeks, bright red from the blood that didn't pour.
Redder more from the blood that was wiped away.
My lips, tight from the smiles I forgot to give,
And old from the smiles that I suppressed.
The glass in front of me still shows
All of the things I have forgotten.
All of the things I never remembered.
