My Reflection
I carefully line my lips in red
adjust my silken straps
my cheeks a glow, bosoms high
wisps of blonde bangs, fallen to my eyes
He is home atlast, awaited patiently
will he walk right past me, again quietly
my skin anticipating his fingers on mine
forgetting he might ignore me like time after time
hope hope, hope and once again hope
the flame is just a flicker, but once was engulfed
come back to me, please hold me tight
one more day, one more night
I hear the door creak, foot steps on wood
Will today be the day, I am seen, and understood?
my hot breath cools as it lands on silk lingerie
but turns cold as he passes in anger and dismay
I cry out in sorrow, please love me, won't you understand?
I feel invisible, and unloved, as my hoping heart is stabbed
Can't you see me? I need a lover, a husband and a friend
though hope prevailed, I am alone , friendless, and unloved, once again
How dare I need love, how dare I need him at all
my eyes weeping,smeared black shadow, I run down the hall
I am filled with regret, guilt, and disgust
I look down at this get up, and I feel like a slut
as I run my silk dress flows in the air
I catch a glimpse of my reflection, who is that girl in the mirror?
tears flowing on porceline skin, luminicant lips of gold
black eyeshadow smeared down, halzel eyes turned emerald
He may not see me and the beauty I have inside and out
or know who I am, for I will never make him proud
and although he can' t see me, this will never ever change
that there has always been a light for me on that stage
I

Yes, a very good poem that expresses what I believe is a lot of women who are in this situation. As a man, I do stand aside and see how men, not all men, are not being the Men of their homes nor keeping the romance alive in their relationships. Women need men who are truly sensitive to every need and loves them so much that they are secure in the closeness of their man's arms. Here lately I have read of these women who are broken hearted and I don't want to put full blame on the man but He is responsible to Love her. Love her as in what true unconditional love is in reality but I also think that people as a whole doesn't understand this kind of love. Love doesn't hurt each other, hate does. Let us not blame love for our own failure to apply it and instead of experiencing a relationship anjd happiness that comes by loving, people experience heartache and a bitter breakup. Let love have it's way. Learn what is unconditional love and live it. Quit arguing over little things that over a period of time, are like bricks that build a walk of separation. You will find that as this wall is built, even though you are living together, feelings grow cold and divorce has set in mentally and emotionally. Men need to wake up and truly love the one they have embrace for life. Then, and only then shall couples never experience breakup and separation any more and Lawyers will have to find a part time Job to make up for the money they were receiving when people learned to hate instead, love is the greatest force in heaven and earth, and it is a power that is to be lived every moment of every day....Thanks for the poem...

That is what poetry should be.
I'm sorry you are married, society taught you a lie about "true love." Unfortunately women are taught to be the slaves of one man, when instead, they could easily enjoy their selves with many lovers.
A woman stuck in a passionless marriage truly makes me sad.
Basically I am saying, this is an excellent poem.
