Pieces

The pieces
Of my life
As it once was
And shall never
Be again.

Like a mirror,
Shattered,
On the cold stone
Floor.

Like a sea of bitterness,
A fragmented, crystalline lake,
Stormy with my tears.

Like fire,
Reflecting who
I once was,
And shall never
Be again.

A mirror,
Shattered.
Put the shards
Back together.

But the reflection will
Never be the same.
Marred, disfigured by time.

Like my life,
A shattered mirror.
Reflecting as it once was
And shall never
Be again.
