STOP.
Who are you?
And what have you done with
The innocence that made her
So enjoyabe and unique?

You took her away with your metal heart
And let her fall apart
With every piece she had seen fall
Two pieces grew in it's place
And she got to try again.

So why can't I see my reflection?

The begining was good and I understand how it connects in the end but only by a thin thread. Maybe you could work on making your poems connect better? You can ignore me if you want I'm really not qualified to judge.

Even though I don't really understand this poem - I have a few guesses - I love how you wrote it. It's an excellent piece of writing.
