The day you hurt me

Was the day you broke me

You know it's true and you aren't sorry

Yet here I am trying to make up for the fact

That I meant nothing to you and still don't love me

Posing coldly in nearly endless rows of porcelain statues

Each a woman you kept

Subjecting them for your pleasure

Till you drained them of every ounce

Then you stabbed them: words are sharp

Taking their splinters and conjoining them in your flesh

Trying to make us turn to you in piety

I watched them shatter; not me

Climbing out from my cracked shell

Gathering the pieces attempting

Not to break do to the ocean swelling painfully inside my ribcage

Touch your frozen cheeks tenderly

"I'm sorry my dear,"

Left you behind,

Trailing my tears
