Broken Glass Wings
It is so much harder than I thought
Crossing bridges never been crossed
Walking paths never been walked
Holding onto rails never been held
Seeking life with broken glass wings
I dined to shelter my heart's frozen rings
I pulled one's dreams, pulling my own strings
Hearing a silent leaf’s song sings
But I begged not and I cared not
A secret choice all for naught
Emptying a glass so fraught
I caged joys to bottom rot
And a desire I pledge to not know
When can my broken glass wings glow
To let it be or to let it go
I sought no answers, but to let it all flow
