Bright and shining it was brand new
Held with awkwardness and care
Admiration grew
Slowly less awkward
Strengthening
Until it was knocked down
Punctured
Broken
And those problems were hidden away
Unknown
It was too late
It had passed
And in the aftermath
I learned that shiny and new things age
Die.
