shards

i was a human
made of emotions and memories
experiences and triumphs
and failures and misfortunes
that swelled up when called forth

i was a human
who spoke in song lyrics
who quoted movies and tv shows
and who fell in love with fictional people

i was a human
who moved to the rythym of a drum
my chest rose and fell with the beat
the pattern of crescendos and decrecendos
the music was my melody
and i fell subdued by its immortal dance

until you broke me

and like glass i shattered
into a million parts
and now all that's left of me
is a heap of shards

and like glass i shattered into a million partsand now all that's left of meis a heap of shards
