Broken Glass

We met by chance, one rainy eve
party for a mutual friend
you were so bright and funny
I remember trying so hard to be the same
hiding my loneliness, my pain
but you knew, you knew.

There was never any middle ground for us
no safety net, we were all about skipped stages
from the first moments so like long lost lovers.

We shared our passions, our fears
taking turns crying in the others' arms
and wiping the tears with kiss after gentle kiss
each time left us a little stronger, it seemed.

Your betrayal left me shattered
like a glass hurled to the floor
so many pieces to pick up
so many trampled underfoot
so many too small to ever be found.

How could you have hurt me so
when all I ever did was love you?
