Shards of Glass

Have you ever hurt the one you love but never meant to? I hope that this writing has captured the essence of what it would feel like.

Shards of Glass

As I walk down

the halls of shame

no lights are visible

days are filled with gloom

I am walking on

shards of glass-

your broken heart

strewn about

I continue on,

can the damage

be repaired?

Remains a mystery

for now I walk

on shards of glass

each cut deepens

with every step

taking the walk

down the long

hallway of shame

I press on.

But still you are walking..... and writing. And that is good and this is very good.

[Ice QueenJen]

and yes, still walking and doing my best to write still.

[Mauricio Montoya]

I guess the shame is acute, not one we can walk lightly, you can feel the emotion as you read, so raw at least that’s what I get. Great job, well done.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson..]

Ouch....Ouch......Ouch.....this poem was very cutting...not only to my feet....but my heart too.

[Ice QueenJen]

Thanks for the comments John, and yes its still a painful time but I am fixing the pain. In time I hope it will be a part of our past, yet the scar will always be there!

[Coyote Poetry]

Most of us have walked on the shards of glass. Hard not to hurt another. I like the honest and direct feel of the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

I really enjoyed this poem. Tell me if I am wrong but I gather that a girl/guy has broken a girl/guys heart? I'm going to critique this as if that is what happened and just say I love how their is room for the reader to imagine what he/she wants yet still get you message through.
Good Job!

Thanks K.J., and yes its about that.... yet hoping the said heart can be repaired somewhere along the line of time.

[Kerri Hart]
