SHATTERED

In you
A second self I found
Bubbling with laughter
our eyes shone with smiles
As we walked hand in hand

A strong bond formed
I believed in us
Till
our palms deluged with sweat
Slippery they became
Efforts to hold on turned fruitless
Letting go
our love slipped too

All we had built crumbled
Our dreams, us
Bliss turned to tears
Weakened by pain
We couldn't salvage it
Hearts wrinkled
We watched
As a wall separated us

Apart we drifted
turned our backs
Afraid of the others suffering
Pieces scattered
you walked right and left I did
praying to bump into another
That would help pick them
Though killing us
Farewell we bid.

Liz
