👦... It wasn't easy but for the first time in a long time,
I was willing to give it a try
Little steps one,two and then three but I was uncertain
Finally out on the streets and it's now or never
I will be true now, always and forever
I silently promised
👧... Empty shards of glass littered the floor
and I bent, carefully piecing them together
Weirdly enough, alot of people saw it there
but left it unattended to and continued walking ,
Still gathering all the pieces together
But eyes like dagger, pierces every minute
baffled why I'm so bent on helping pick them
all up instead of sweeping them away,
👦Still unsure whether to go along
But tired of pacing and trying to be calm ;
"What are you doing ?, get up and leave at once "
👧 I will once I help you piece the vase right back,
Surely I can't leave you to pick this all by yourself
👦..Slumped on the floor and at this point,
can't get himself to believe it's really happening
Finally! , someone who cares or so I thought
Atleast for a moment let my poor heart enjoy
what it feels like and just cherish it while it lasts
👧You will be fine she assured him,
as long as you don't look back
Or assume what is and what isn't
Just let me show you
👦 Elated I leaped for joy
And confided in her
Also gave her the unharmed flowered pieces
to be placed gently on the vase
After which the vase would be
wrapped jealously and tucked away
On a Saturday
She did help for a while
Adding colours to the canvas of
monochrome and boring pigments
But a vital piece was still missing on the vase
And together it could be fixed and bound back
But she never showed up the next day...
👦I was torn
I felt betrayed
Reckless abandon
I couldn't help but let the tears flow
That was how she made away with my glow
She left with the missing piece.

Author's Note
Sigh I haven't posted in a while not sure why though but it's just one of those things that you don't really have any explanation to, I plan to post but then again I just don't feel up to it.
maybe because I felt like not enough people were reading but then again all that matters is that I'm putting it out and someday someone or people are going to read it and feel much better and not alone in how they feel.
Why do you think the girl in this piece never showed up though 😟?, Kindly read and comment your answers I will give my answer too.
And to those who have been reading, and supporting in any way, thanks alot I really appreciate and it keeps my ink flowing when I'm down😊.
Signed... Blackbird!
