Shattered


It hurts, every whisper Each wayward glance, so close Every moment heard and felt Twisting the shard with each tremor, vibration Icy crystalline glass wedged to deep to pull Oh beating drum in my body and ears Such broad pieces you were cracked into And little by little I fed them To him Caressed so deeply His deft fingers re shaped them Tenfold the beauty and grace it had held And just as the last pieces were to be placed The ear shattering crack Of worlds splitting; the sound of hailing fire He shatters you to scores of pieces But no the shards do not hurt Him They deflect, embedding themselves into my skin Ruby tears spill, gracing the ground But he does not see Deaf to the moans of heart wrenching pain The cataclysmic loss of life He is already gone
