Scattered across the floor
lay the crystalline pieces
of my heart.
I dare not move,
I dare not speak,
I dare not break myself further.
The pain I feel can be
seen clearly in fragments and
light across the floor.
Telling a story that was
never meant to see
the light of day,
but there it is,
before me
my story
being cast upon the walls
on repeat
for me to watch
again and again
as the tears flow down
my face.
