The Meaning of Broken Glass
In the darkness, I felt my world crack through. Each piece came apart... Slowly showered into the abyss. Broken fragments, Beautifully shining, Sharp and bloodied. For a moment, another lay in my place. I went elsewhere... empty. The meaning of broken glass. How a life looks when it's shattered. Does brokenness still show, put together? Do the pieces bleed back together... Or do the ones who really look see? I wondered, was I holding my own hand? If I was, should I cut the hand off? I'm only supposed to be me. Is that weeping my own- Thousands of condemned angels can only cry. I was distracted by my breathing. Surprised I could hold so still. Placid, drifting glass turned to knives, Plummeted down- Gouging. Telling me I had too much on my mind. A voice cut through and Someone told me he loved me. I know him! And whoever that girl was Standing in for me, Holding me so still... Vanished. I was myself again. I felt pain and warmth reenter And I told him I loved him too, Meaning it. The pain subsided.
I live my life for myself. But I live happily for him.
