She lay on the bed, swaddling the sheets around her, the mirror beside.
Tears burned from her eyes in a familiar silent stream.
Grabbing the mirror she hurled it across the room, shards of glass splintering and fracturing.
Rushing in, he gathered her in his arms holding her tight, holding her together.
Cradling her face and looking deep into her eyes, he whispered,
"I wish you could see what I see."

Others see in us what we cannot see in ourselves. Such truth in this Magpie!
This is very emotional; so good she has him.

Beautifully written- holding her together.
Nice take off this Magpie Deborah!
Good one. We judge ourselves so harshly, until we learn better. So lucky if we have someone who sees truer.
Great Mag. Love and Light, Sender
Others rarely see what we see. Beautiful!
he is a wise soul...and i wish she could as well...smiles.
oh - this is so full of warmth - glad she had someone like him...loved this
so beautiful, yet the sadness of a person who is so hard on themselves, we all are so beautiful inside if we just embrace it....bkm
A good slant on a difficult (I thought) prompt.
Emotional, tempestuous, full of anguish and self-recrimination. You completed a full and powerful scene so concisely. Very well written.
Poor thing to be so wracked with anguish I wish she could see what he could see as well!
We never quite see ourselves as others can. Excellent.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments x :o)
