"Shattered Glass"
Sitting alone at my desk
staring numbly at the blinking screen
your face etched in my memory
your fragrance, your breath
lingers awhile
longer than it should
Insomnia has taken hold
though sleep eludes me
like a phantom
in the early hours
The bed is cold now
you've gone away
twilight has descended
upon my heart
like vultures to a carcass
I have spent hours
days, weeks, months
wishing you'd come back
hoping that you would
somehow see how
this whole beautiful mess
came to be
You've went away
met another
I hear you're married now
he must be a wonderful man
I've been through this a million times
and would probably go through it
a million more
just to have the answers
that would somehow
make me whole again
Crawling on my knees
toward the door
hands reach up
struggling to escape
There is no hope
inside, my heart
seethes
shards of
shattered glass.
