"Don't cry because it's over, smile because is happened."


I couldn’t help but notice
Reflections in your eyes
Yet when I turned to seal the fate
Reflections were just lies

Twisting turning cheating lies
Are what have brought us here
To a place where memories fade
And reflections show your fears

Fears of going back
To when memories were born
Yet after all we have gone through
Time is what we mourn

I never would have noticed
Reflections in your eyes
If not for
Memories adored
Yet seemingly only reflections

Simple and great.  Love how you split the sentences and make the poem alive.

I really like this! Sometimes rhyming takes away from the poem but you did a nice job with it :)

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B. Reith

I liked your poem. It was very intersting. The only suggestion is maybe extended on this whole reflection of memories theme. Other that i found this poem really good.
