I played delighted with that glass fragility
So beautiful , so perfect,
Such eternal bliss.
The sight of it brought a song to my heart
Peace to my mind
A childlike thrill through my eyes.
I was sure it was mine
A companion to my heart forever
Invincible - it was divine i was sure
And while I was peacefully snuggled in my illusion before my very eyes - shattered
shattering every fragment of me.
I mustered courage
and put together the blurred pieces
The scars remained , but my world was one again.
This time I was resolute
I wouldn't - I couldn't loose it this time
Assured again i ventured to play
And again through my clumsy fingers - my joy splintered
I stared unbelieving in helpless dismay
And trembling, hopeful
Mended it again
And just as I managed to convince
my disbelieving heart... again...
Courage failed me, hope eluded my farthest reach
I let the wounds be -
Open, crippled, crying...
