Broken Glass
She exposed her emotions, stripped away all the pretenses
Laid bare her soul, freed a spirit, that was locked away hidden
Her fragile emotions, raw, jagged pieces slashed at her innocence
Faith and belief in the love of a man left her jaded afraid to open
Her heart to another
She gazed into a mirror cracked, starring back at her
From the other side a disfigured reflection
Distorted and out of focus, nothing could hide the sadness in her eyes
With a finger tip she traced the outline of her face between the cracked
Pieces of glass as a tear trickled down softly wetting her left cheek
With an impatient sigh she swiped it away, straightened her back and turned
Away from the broken glass
