Shattered Glass

I saw your shadow on the wall and thought I was dreaming.
Memories can be so cruel...
Just a tainted apparition.

And I crash.

One by one, they fall.
A million reflections of you,
On the pieces of shattered glass.

But oh your face is so close to me,
And the years haven't washed you away.
Tell me whe I can open my eyes...

I'm nothing more than a sharded, glittering mess at your feet.

"But you're beautiful..."
I heard you say.
Your hand is warm on my cheek as it passes by.
It promises so much.

And at this moment I want to crawl inside you.

Mariah, exquisite poem. There seems to be a thousand sharpened fragments waiting to cut unexpectedly. Well done. A very emotional piece.

Amazing write! There are so many emotions written into this one. This one reminds me of one of the poems I wrote, "Hidden Reflections" which I had posted it here in the den.

I like the way you have written this. Very intense feelings indeed!

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
