Shattered


I had this summer day where you were fire and I was sand, and we melted ourselves into a rare and perfect glass. Maybe we can be like marbles, well-rounded and varied, or maybe we can magnify and burn splinters in the pavement. Today I see the faintest reflection, smooth but dirty, old and cherished, like the way that you broke me and smashed life on the floor. We've been devitalized; presently I hold just one sliver. Maybe we were fragile, or maybe we can meld again and mold our lives inside.

the first stanza is so much more powerful in wording, image, and metaphor. the second lacks. but the first is awesome. i didnt plan on commenting on this site, but ya - the 1st stanza is very, very neat. good job!
