Shattered Glass


you pick me up and put me down
I’m amusement, nothing more
maybe less
your cruel intentions apparent
with every twist of the knife
you have embedded so deeply in me

Every lie…
you know you do
divides and splinters
like shattered glass..
I am swept up and aside
thrown away with a shrug..
like it never really happened
never mattered..
cold, callous and calculated

I bleed
yet you laugh..
like shattered glass
I am excused..
waiting in the shadows
to be picked up again

I am ignored
so I treat you as such..
I am shattered glass
I will cut you
seek my revenge..
leave you bleeding and confused
tread carefully
my home is invisible to you..
I will surprise you
I will hurt you as you have me
