Black Glass

Beyond night;
dark as hell is
overlaid shadows
infinite ocean

It cuts me.
So deep, I bleed
Remorse, unending
tears - the burden

As black is glass
My hands quiver
with every shard
and splinter spite


So rampant, trite
Widespread
a daily affair
no one listens anymore

like cancer
it spreads
it goes into remission
it relapses

Shards and shards
of black glass, broken
and pounded into every
heartbeat

It is far better to die
alone with this pain
than to leave broken glass
for others to sweep.
