So I was looking through old boxes and stuff (I'm a bit of a pack rat, apparently), and I found yet ANOTHER poem that I wrote back in high school. I think I wrote this for a project either my freshman or sophomore years. I do, however, remember exactly what it is about. I had a best friend who I drifted away from as we grew older, and this is, I guess, a culmination of my thoughts on our friendship. Yes, I was an emo little thing back then, haha.
Shattered
there in the blur of time and distance
in the fists of separation and indifference
we crushed the fragile glass flower
shattered pieces of trust and love
once unbroken and luminous
litter the recesses of my heart
i grasp at these fragmented shards,
desired slivers burrow deep, petals chip,
splinters, stitches in my pride and dignity,
i look to you, once my sole confidant,
and see only traces of tenderness
erased by a slow insidious darkness
