Really Short Poems

What Was I Meant To Be

I thought I had found you

but what I found wasn't you,

but a reflection.

A reflection that you see,

when your own collides with it.

A reflection that flickers,

when you give it a push.

A reflection that is clearer than the truth,

A reflection that is clearer than you.

Then I thought I had found you,

but what I found wasn't you,

but a glow.

A glow that brightens your life,

A glow that brings you light,

A glow that shows you the truth,

A glow that inspires you,

shows you what you can do.

Confused in my thoughts,

of reflection and glow,

I unfortunately let you go.

I lost your reflection,

the one that was true,

i lost your glow,

the one that showed me what I can do.

But you told me I had ice in my soul,

you told me I was gonna catch a cold.

I tried melting my heart,

but it only tore us apart.

Now i beg you to understand me,

just tell me

What

Was

I

Meant

To

Be?
