Shattered Glass
I am a shattered glass.
Pieces of me have been stolen.
So young to be broken.
I am a shattered glass
who never dared to hope
that I’ll be whole again.
I am a shattered glass
when you came to my life
and stayed on my journey.
I am a shattered glass.
I knowingly broke you
and stole your person.
We are both shattered glasses.
We are both broken and incomplete.
We are the same.
We were both shattered glasses.
We were both broken and incomplete
until you forgave me.
You are now a new glass.
You have a new life,
forgot about being broken.
I was even more shattered.
How and why did you forgive me
when I destroyed you?
How and why did you forgive me?
I need to know the answer
so I can too, forgive myself.
How and why did you forgive me?
I need to know the answer
so I can heal some parts of me.
