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.
