Shattered Like Broken Glass

Folder: 
July 2002 Poetry

When one has been hurt,

far too many times before.

They shatter.

Shatter like broken glass.

They have to pick up the pieces,

and put them back together.

It’s a long process.

It takes time.

One is like a fragile glass,

easily broken,

vulnerable.

But me,

once I put,

most of the pieces back together,

I wouldn’t let anyone,

get close enough to break me.

But you,

you did.

You got close enough,

I foolishly let you in,

and no matter how many stones,

you threw to try and break me,

it never worked,

But as soon as you threw,

those hurtful words,

I shattered,

shattered like broken glass.
