Smoke

Smoke Cracks on my face formed from glass For I am such a fragile lass Shattered heart it is not stone My destiny to be alone I offered you the pane you see I prayed that you might set me free You turned your back without a care As if I wasn’t even there Shattered lost on shards I choke Me a mirror reflecting smoke.

Love reading you. It gives me a sense of belonging to this place. Please don't every leave. Love how you were inspired by the prompt. I am unable to do so. Kudos to you.

Hello Richard, it’s raw, haunting, and achingly beautiful. Your words carry a quiet power speaking so well to the universal ache of longing and loss. Your word lingers in thought and heart. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
