I look in the mirror and what do I see?
You who looked so much like me.
After your death it made me feel so blue
At times I did not know what to do.
Many a day I was afraid to even speak,
It sounded like your voice and made me weak.
Now as I ponder and wonder for awhile,
Thank God I can manage to smile your smile.
This has been the deepest valley of my life,
But I will fight on when low moments are rife.
For sure I will never forget that what I see,
Is that you, my twin, lives on through me.

Thank you very much Evie. I know you can relate to this so well. Take very good care of yourself and I hope you and your family have been enjoying this Independence Day in the U.S.A.
It's Beautiful.
Hi Belly Dancer,
Thank you so much for reading some of my posts and sharing your comments. I really appreciate it. Surprisingly I never tried poetry until after my twin's death. I followed the suggestion I saw in a book on Twin Loss. Take care and my best wishes to you.

I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose my identical twin! I seriously hope we die together or else I go before her... I don't think I could cope. Sorry for your loss... only another identical twin could understand your deeper pain. Blessings!
Thanks for your comments Glenys! It is really a very difficult situation to deal with. I wish you and your twin many,many, more years together. Take care and have a good week.
