My words shatter in the air
leaving a space between the voices
of what could have been
Avaleen Oct 2017
Take every broken piece of me
but
don't try to put them back together
I've tried
I'll show you the scars, and bruises
of my heart
to prove it, but,
I don't think I need to.
You already know
how it feels to cut yourself with glass.
Take my broken pieces
and hang them off the highest tower
you can find.
and let the light
dance off them
and make them glint like fire.
Then even though they are broken and shattered
They will become art
like a stained glass mosaic.
And people will come and gape at my beauty
For some did not even know it existed
but, make sure you do not let these people
touch my shattered pieces.
For they will only crack it with their
frosted fingertips...

For how do you think I became broken in the first place?

Eyes stained with tears
Clinging to porcelain skin
The ocean blue in her eyes never left, it just faded
Just like the flame inside her

Let’s waste our youth on these mindless games
On these pixelated screens
Warped from reality
All. Of. Us.
Let’s pretend our world doesn’t exist
And when it burns to the ground
We’ll be left standing in the ashes wondering what went wrong

I stand in the room of opportunity
                  all the doors are closed and tightly locked

there is nothing left for me to do
except build a door,
    a door that will give me  

                  the right opportunities

                          a new chance

           a door that will lead me to the future

— The End —
