If I could suspend my tears
In the darkness
Like stars
Maybe I could make something
Beautiful
Out of something so ugly

I'm fragile and broken
My shards decorate the floor
Multifaceted hues
Of a person
Who never learned how to cope

I am the chill in the air at night
And I am the uneven breaths
Painted in wisps across the darkness

And I am the broken bottles
From too many bitter drinks
Strewn on the pavement
Catching the light
But never my breath
