Beautiful Pain

Broken, the glass falls
And shatters on the ground
The pieces hit both floor and walls.
The shards that fall are like sparkling rain.
How could something so beautiful
Cause so much pain?

Beautiful glowing flame
Flickering in the dim evening light
So gentle and small, the flicker is tame.
I think, watching the height of the candle wane,
How could something so beautiful
Cause so much pain?

But he looked at me with stars in his eyes,
So gentle, so funny, so seemingly kind,
And through it all I missed the lies.
The hurt he caused, I can’t explain,
How could someone so beautiful
Cause so much pain?
