Shard of Glass

My heart,
Broken and spread
Across the floor,
Is shattered glass.

You can try
To regather
All the pieces,
But you'll always
Miss a tiny shard.

This tiny shard,
A lost hope,
Growing
More lost as
Time passes on.

Disappointment.
It fills my heart
And I try
Not to be bitter,
But my efforts
Are failing me.

You are
My shard of glass.
My lost hope.

My efforts
To make you mine
Are in vain.
You're still
In my heart,
But you cause
So much pain.
