That fragile thing
It slipped so slowly
That fragile thing
It slipped through fingers
Clutching at smoke
And that fragile thing
Lay in pieces upon the floor
It’s glass you see
That fragile thing
And I thought it was clear
See through
Like a polished window
Reflecting all on the other side
It’s glass you see
That fragile thing
But glass can sometimes be opaque
And clutching at smoke
That fragile thing slipped
And lay in pieces upon the floor
That fragile thing
It slipped through fingers
Clutching at smoke
And that fragile thing
Lay in pieces upon the floor
It’s glass you see
That fragile thing
And I thought it was clear
See through
Like a polished window
Reflecting all on the other side
It’s glass you see
That fragile thing
But glass can sometimes be opaque
And clutching at smoke
That fragile thing slipped
And lay in pieces upon the floor

I've enjoyed a wonderful morning reading your poetry, Rayne.
You have such a wonderfully unique style and method within your writing.
This poem is one that I adore. The metaphors are amaizing the cold of the break in your words is earth shattering.
I loved how you used the repitition of "that fragile thing" it really drove that nail home.
Ya know, in terms of the content these hearts as fragile as they are, continue to pump blood and beat rythmns and life gets better, I promise you it does.
Thank you for the wonderful reading joy you afforded me today.
Blue skies at you
