Crushed

When will my boulder become too heavy for you
to push up this mountain?
Crushing you
the beetle underneath the heel of my misguided foot

When will you look down at your hands
to see the scarlet wounds in your flesh
your skin crying crimson tears
All because you were trying to repair the glass vase 
that a child carelessly threw on the ground

If you are my light
what happens when my darkness swallows you?
What happens when my demons
seep into your soul?
Then the mold and rot envelopes us both
forever sinking into darkness
How could I forgive myself for destroying you? 

Your comforting words ease my soul
"For you, anything"
"You don't need to feel bad"
But the ease only lasts for a moment
I would rather crush myself than you
So until I can be my own light
I would rather be in darkness

Glass

When you break a glass bottle
You're supposed sweep it up
You don't hope someone else will pick it up
Or wait til someone slices their feet open on the shards you left behind 
You can't glue it back together
The glass bottle you destroyed will NEVER be the same

You can't put a glass bottle back together
You shouldn't even try
Because the shards will tear your skin to pieces
And all you will be left with is
Bloody hands

Fragile
But you broke it anyway
You left all the shards 
In a broken heap on the floor

No one will pick it up
No one has the time to make a new bottle
You broke a glass bottle
You can't get it back
Go find a new bottle
You'll probably break that one too
