Snapped

My eyes widen 

Upon hearing a sound

A horrible...horrible sound...

Oh no...

Don't tell me...Please no!

This can't be!

I roll over and look down at the horrifying sight

My loyal companion throughout high school

My aid

My guide

My sight when I could not see!

Everything was a blur

Till you came into my life

You made everything so clear to me!

I pick up the pieces

And assess the situation

I'm completely mortified!

What am I to do?

The damage is done

Irreversible damage at that!

4 years together

Gone!

I pause for a moment

And then let out a laugh

Perhaps it's about time

I got a new pair of glasses

In loving memory of my broken pair of glasses, which I accidentally lied on as I was falling asleep.

Clever tease and so very well written - brava! Minor point 'I accidentally lay on - otherwise perfect. You're sending me off and away with a grin ear to ear and back again!.

[The Seeker of Thoughts]

At first I was racking my brain thinking it was something that died or I don't know what. As it continued I started smiling and laughing. Thank you for the wonderful writing.

[Virtue Jackson]

Very much enjoyed that, and though short it made me ask many questions just like a book. Thanks for the read!

[Callial]

I thoroughly enjoyed this, The rhythm although unique was easy to follow, and the reveal at the end was executed perfectly. Great Job

[Velicity Phoenix]

This is good writing. You wrote it, in such a way that it had the audience truly wondering what you were talking about, or who? I liked it. It made me laugh.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

A (dare I say it) 'SPECtacular' poetic composition of humorous intent - also highlights the pitfalls of falling asleep whist reading in bed! Love it ... [:-)

[Mari Baptiste]

Thank you! :)
I was so looking forward to our [my glasses and I] next chapter together at university. Haha! :)

[Nigel Newman]

Nicely done Mari. Great mystery until the end. There's a bit of wavering between tenses, but my over-riding feeling is I was hooked! Others also seem to like it!

[Mari Baptiste]

Thanks, Nigel! :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be more careful with the tenses. :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah this is funnily relatable! I've done that with my glasses too though thankfully I had spare ones lol
This gave me a good laugh so thank you for that! Nicely penned! (:

[Mari Baptiste]

Thank you, Yumna :)
Lucky you had spares! I don't have any. For now, I'm forced to good to use my contact lenses until my new glasses are ready. Haha! :D

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I would say contacts are kinda better than specs ;P
You're welcome, Mari (:

[Mari Baptiste]

It actually kinda is. I wear them everyday but I like to let my eyes relax whenever I stay home. :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Aye, me as well! ;)

[Stella Armour]

you had me fooled as well..lol
well done!

[Mari Baptiste]

Thank you, Stella! :D
Those glasses got me through 4 years worth of essays, exams, and homework. I was sad to see them go. Haha :)

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Ha! What a great comedic poem. I had no idea until the end that it was about a pair if glasses. I was expecting much worse! Very Clever my friend!

[Mari Baptiste]

Glad you had a good laugh, Annette. :)
I was absolutely devastated. The hinge snapped right off. Haha! :)
