Broken glass
and dammits too !
Throw in yells
machine gun words
short-staccato
as vowels blow by
over you

It was your
Easter Sunday
Too beautiful
Two until two
and frustration

Wondering
where in Hell
do I come from
going nowhere
with pockets
full of sharp seconds
cold long and hard

Lock the door
but shut it first
Here asking
which came first . . .
the sun , the moon
or the fool
L Marie Mar 2015
I am a butterfly nest
That holds caterpillars of dreams
And cocoons of potential.

They'll all grow to
Beautiful butterflies
Someday, one day.

Some butterflies are gentle
They all are colorful
And others have glass shards as wings.

When it snows and the wind blows fast enough
that it doesn't look like falling anymore
                just like static on an old tv.

And it sounds like a whooshing of someone exhaling,
exasperated after a difficult day.
There's the occasional wail,
               interspersed among these sighs.

Like someone had their heart broken.
The screaming winds accompany sharp shards,
they pierce exposed skin and remind you of that
fairytale.

The one about childhood sweethearts,
and the freezing of hearts,
and the rescuing of boys.

The frozen glass makes the physical pain match
                     the sad sounds which is an eerie
                     sensation.
Like nature wants you to know it's hurting and suffer
with it too.

I wonder if you ever think of me,
I wonder if sometimes I'm the only one you can see.
Maybe it's just plain fantasy
But, I wonder if we could ever be.
But it's not as good as you thought it would be
because all the shards are on the ground but you choose not to see.

But,darling, we're stepping on the shards.
And we love the pain.
It makes us feel alive.
It takes our minds off from the pain within.
But one day, you could take the pain no more.
You left right out the front door.

Now the shards still take away the inner pain with physical pain.
Just, not in the same way.
Not my best poem, but I haven't written anything for months and I really felt like writing something, about anyone or anything just to get my mind off the stress of school.

My heart beats only for
For, for a moment of your
Time
Passes
Motionless
When your within my possession,
Hands stay to my side, but wishing
To hold upon your grasp,
"I scream silent"
I
Love
You,
As arteries burst within my heart
I reach out to you,
Hands held as if begging for your notice
But you just look away, as if in disgust,
I summon last ounces of my fortitude,
As you look around as love   explodes
From my chest,
You are covered in the ruination
Of a heart now dead,
As I lay
Motionless,
Loveless,
Worthlessness,  
love was my only
survival, but that flat lined when you turned
Your back upon me,
Now you are covered in shards of love
Never forget the moment love  died,
As I lay still, my heart broken, my breath it sleeps.

I have been on  a playground of coals,
They are charred with bone
I skip on and flesh  parched
Every
Ride
Burns
Another part of my humanity away.
"I feel nothing"
As chains I swing upon
Eroding,
Flaying,
Splintered
Shards of bone, that which was
Mortality has no place.
Until the shell  peels and
Only the shadow of me remains,
I was
Human,
Soul,
Flesh
That is all faded upon parched coals.
I was, but now I am only darkness,
After humanity and light is **burned away.
Amanda Nov 2014
I'm still
picking out
the shards
of your words
out of my skin.
I have been recollecting our shards
Shattered glass of incandescent past
And I do not care if it cuts
My porcelain hands do not feel
For you have drained my blood
I have nothing left to bleed
But somehow I'm glad that
If you are reading this by any chance
Know that I didn't love you just once
From the first meeting until the last
And all the days in between
My love will stay unthawed
Frozen and locked here



-Petrified Heart, Margaret Austin Go
The worlds but a puppet show
With tiny figurines
That wear miniature glass hearts
Upon their tiny sleeves

When it's not an exciting scene
To the viewers we don't matter
But together we're all struggling
To climb life's impossible ladder

And when the show is over
And the puppets are thrown away
Their glass sleeves are shatted
no matter what the master will say

When night comes at last
And only the figurines stay
Stabbing each other with the shards
In their own unseen play
