Drowning

I Was Glass

I wanted to shelter you,
Protect you,
I wanted to make you safe from the demons that haunt your mind.

So I let your storm rage against my walls,
I let the thunder crash into me,
And the rain beat against my fragile skin,
While you were safe inside.

I took your storm on top of mine,
I forgot that I was glass,
I remembered just how fragile I was
When the lighting struck,
And I shattered.

I was glass
Trying to protect glass,
But now you are stronger,
You are stone.

But I am still glass,
Where are you,
Why aren't you protecting me?
Why did you stop needing me once you could stand on your own?

I am glass yet,
I protected you.
But now when you are stone,
You left me.
