Elle M. Poet Free verse

When the glass shatters

When will she ever learn? 
That mending a broken glass
Much like a broken soul
Then give it back to the breaker
Will only ever result in the same situation 
Haven't years of sitting in a physics class ever taught her anything? 
An experiment done in same unchanged circumstances 
Will always result in the same conclusion 
The conclusion in this case being: 
It doesn’t matter if hopes and tears are shed, 
Immeasurable trust won’t save her in the end.
The multitude of hopes
That something, anything might change ever
A hope to which she holds no control over
And a thought to which she’ll always be last 
She allows it
To be broken and devoured in pain in a vicious cycle 
Over and over and over
In hopes, faith?
That one day, maybe some day
It’ll stop hurting 
Not stop breaking, not merely heal
But ever so simply, painstakingly stop hurting.
