This poem
Crafted with love
And feeling
Has come apart
In a million pieces…


Moments
Thoughts
Intentions lost


Misunderstood
And turned
Uncomprehended
Into something
Unintended

Like a vase
Shattered
On the floor
Can’t be
What it was
Before—

Much less the flower

Crystal
Can be replaced
Even
A sentimental piece

But not petals

Tender

Trying to bloom…

And I’m helpless
Before
The brokenness
Of ruin.
