Stained glass shards glisten on the floor, from the window that was shattered. Words lost that cut the tongue, withheld because it never mattered.
Bare feet that no longer feel, I kneel on glass remains. If only my heart was unbreakable, but the overflow of everything it contains.
I built walls I let down, reluctantly for men who are undeserving. But it seems that heartache, is a lesson I'm always learning.
I'd rather just hear it burst because I'm always muffled sound. I can't keep looking in spite of hope, for something that can't be found.
I broke the window because beautiful, is nothing that is me. Maybe if I wear a mask, I can obstruct the image that is all they ever see.
