May 2014
And as if a vase of wilting flowers fell off a table,
We shattered.
Each push shoving us closer to the edge
Until we finally toppled over;
3,
2,
1,
Impact.
The shards of what was, what is, and what should have been
Cut wounds into my fingertips
As I tried to pick them up
And piece them back together.
But when the jagged, mangled pieces would no longer fit in their places
Or form what they once were,
I instead placed them like a painting on my wall,
To be looked at, and remembered;
Not to be thrown in the garbage,
But not to become what they used to be, either.
