Broken Glass
March 21, 2008
It crashed upon me like the breaking of Glass
I was not his one
I felt as if the shards of glass were stabbing me
Microscopic bumps began to crawl up on my
sand colored skin
And I bit my lip as he whispered, “I love her”
Blood was fleeting from everywhere: my face, my lip, and my heart
All of my fantasies were flooding away like the tide on a full moon
We will never be
I tried to picture myself in relationship to him
Slowly I saw myself fading
Fading like a ghost
I became the ghost of a girl who felt love
I was transparent glass

I think this piece is very heartfelt. It is relatable and presents a lot of strong images. I really liked the poem. It was very sad, but that made it all the more strong of a piece. Keep writing!
