My heart has been broken <br />Like shattered glass <br />That lay scattered on the floor <br />And had to be swept up <br />so that not one single particle <br />Be left visible <br />To the naked eyes <br />Or touches the smooth skin, <br />Like a dagger in any given day <br />Before feet could cross <br />The threshold of this door! ... <br /> <br />Hey you! Watch your steps! <br />Splinters still remain <br />Painful and undetected- <br />watch your step! <br />Deep cuts left unprotected <br />Due to carelessness of my own... <br /> <br />Now, feeling badly hurt, <br />Being sharply touched, <br />I must take precautions <br />Before I surrender true feelings, <br />I must also scrutinize everyone <br />Before I totally give in <br />Avoiding to fall apart again, . <br />Rejecting a life <br />Of distrust and pain... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2012<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/like-shattered-glass-2/
