Broken Plate
October 25, 2013
broken plate
we wait
shattered
sharp edged pieces everywhere
no glue could put us back together
we will never one again be one
life's journey at an end
laying in shards on the cold hard kitchen floor
we cry
water spots on the ground
running between splinters of glass
no use left
stuck
there's no going back
sorry does nothing to help
all you can do is throw away
the broken plate and start a new slate
people aren't like that
there's no trash can for mistakes
not like a stone
taking all that comes it's way
broken plate
that we are
try to forget what you once were
focus on what you are now. broke.
