Shattered Glass
You came into my life, a storm's cruel hand,
Turning calm waters into a mournful sand.
Everything I cherished, swept out to sea,
Leaving me shipwrecked in misery.
Not content with my heart's gentle sway,
You plundered my world in a disarray.
Possessions vanished, like dreams in the night,
Leaving me shivering, devoid of light.
Now you return, with honeyed words so sweet,
Seeking entry to a soul incomplete.
But the walls are up, built strong and tall,
Guarding a heart that remembers it all.
The scars you etched run far too deep,
A constant reminder of promises you couldn't keep.
In my heart, a resolve begins to ignite,
To rise from the ashes, reclaim my light.
To rebuild, to heal, to find my own way,
Far from the darkness of yesterday.
Your offer of love now rings hollow and cold,
A chapter closed, a story untold.
So turn away, find another shore,
For the shattered pieces can't be made whole anymore.
I'll gather the fragments, create something new,
A life of my own, untouched by you.
