Menagerie

Menagerie

Cast upon this glass heart
Smote by crafty impart
Assaulted by devilish remarks,
Pieces bespew molten sparksΒ 

Menagerie of brittle shard
Incited by one's disregard
Simply words besiege forge
Inflamed as heat engorge

Fires purge, bellows augment
Artisan of foolish lament
Encased within fortress shield
Diamond facets ne’er yield

Scattered neath careless boot
Remorse assuredly takes root
Ne’er bespeak ardor again
Heartless nostalgia remembers when

Being Me

Ouch! How a broken heart hurts! It always amazes me how the ones that break hearts and then tread all over them... never get cut feet.Β  Love the way you have used words to make this whole poem feel broken-sharp just like those shards. Excellent as always xx
