A Glimpse into the Future

You are the remains of a past

I’m too afraid to let go of

although it’s just

as painful holding on-

crystal shards scraping my wrists.



Perspective cracked,

your reflection fell in pieces,

shattered by apathy

when the person you were

became distorted.



I am not your present,

but instead discarded  

while you read another’s palms

and make her your future,

rubbing in your good fortune.



My future is unclear,

except for the fact that you

will not be a part of it;

I rather dwell on vague hope  

than be destroyed by disappointment.
