She looked at the cup on the sink
The solitary cup
Like it was the most important thing in the world
She saw a man, full of promises
She saw another man, devastated
The promises didn’t last
Forgiveness begged
The door closing
Reality
She grabbed the cup
Smashing it into pieces
She gazed at the scene
Fascinated
Every piece representing her life
She started to laugh
Uncontrollably
Anyone watching, thinking
Great joke,
They would be right
She thought to herself.

A dramatic poem that in metaphor captures a life in a cup personified. Shattered and a joke laughed at now a tragic loss. Even the hand that threw it responsible for the breakage. Very nicely done Paul
