Eye-Shard's Trick

My mind traces your every curve and valley,

yearning for adventure in new lands.

For though unexplored, I can see you fit

me as water in glass.

So why not rush into me, why evade?

Guiding is my specialty, but you writhe

as if in storm, with wind in current as I

grasp futilely at your crashing

waves,

beg for your ordering.

But so it goes,

again,

again,

until I see you have no waves, you weather no storm.

It is merely my eye-shard's trick,

reflected as I lay broken and shattered

about the kitchen floor.
