Shadows Into Light

Broken ✯

I am made of glass.

Gentle,

sweet,

and fragile.

But my world was made out of

pillows and I was safe.

You broke and entered into my perfect world.

You with your crooked grin

and perfect lies.

The way you took my heart

and swiftly stole it.

You left.

Gone and out the window of my world.

I waited.

Yes, I did for you.

I had put so much trust into you.

My friends told me to give up,

but I knew, knew that you'd come back.

Because I thought you loved me.

For weeks I wandered around aimlessly.

Not knowing what to do,

because you weren't there.

I was a loss puppy

without its owner.

Three months later,

I found you

kissing another girl

and stealing her heart

as you did with mine.

I followed you home

and confronted you.

You laughed,

at me.

You picked up my heart

and threw it back at me.

It skidded on the ground,

and stopped at my feet

before it shattered

like a tiny little daggers

shining dangerously back at me.

The first tear fell

unwelcomed and unstoppable.

It lept off of my face

and fell on my shattered heart.

But it was unable to heal the damage

you made.

I picked up all the pieces

and turned without looking back.

Never to look back at your face

Never to look back at your lies

Never to look back at your heart.

I was made of glass

and now I am made of broken glass

thanks to you.
