REFLECTION

LOVE CAN'T BE FORCED, she did everything to be the reflection in his eyes, she tried to replace the girl he loved but little did she knew it only causes pain not gain.

Once I looked into his eyes  

And saw the reflection that I couldn't recognized  

Again and again  

I tried to steal those eyes 

Again and again  

I tried to be that light  

Again and again  

I got lost in the darkness 

Once more I looked into his eyes  

And saw the reflection that wasn't mine  

I tried to be that light  

I tried to shine that bright  

To steal all that attention  

To steal all that affection  

To be lost in his eyes  

Even for a second it felt so nice  

But when I thought I was finally the reflection  

I looked into his eyes again  

Dark circles under them like dark clouds  

Which are ready to rain 

I wasn't the reflection I was the pain 

For the one last time I looked into his eyes  

And I recognized the reflection that wasn't mine 

Who makes those eyes smile  

Who is his light  

As I looked at the reflection  

I just smiled  

Knowing that he will never be mine

I really liked it. Though nice felt like an odd word choice to build up to. I think the poem could rework that line to fit its place better, that could really set the scene for the ending. Also, the repetition of dark in the line two above the bolded seemed too close to have the intended effect. Otherwise though, I really liked the poem.
