Fragile pysche

All that she had hoped for
led to cracks in her veneer,
as smiles and recollections
broke to leak another tear.
Now look in her direction
at the pain she tries to hide
when once she knew perfection
but her love was based on pride.
So turn the other cheek
and walk away from this taboo
as she shrinks into the shadows
for her nightmare's coming true .

Hiding from the mess she made
she'll glue another piece;
the splinters of her vanity
that she cannot release.
Down upon her bludgeoned knees
she hides from her own face
when all that she desired was
another day of grace.
With no one left to cry for her
she crumbles at the base
a glaze of tears, enameled fear
handcrafted with disgrace.

When all that she desired
was another day to pose
on proud display like precious clay
that clings to gentle rose.
But brittle and defeated
she will fall to break apart
until another lover comes
to bond her shattered heart.
