Shards
Fools seen through telescopes
Dissecting love
In similes and metaphors
Cliches and overused adjectives
Her skirt's fraying
He's praying
On skin uncovered
Bathed blue
By lights in the space of
Broken mirrors
And treasured trash
Because
"Love was here"
They say.
Fools inked and sinking
Blinking
At neon signs
Fed up moon and stars long dead
He's slipping
Inside
She's shaking, shivering -
Shattering -
Later when she's sleeping
He'll be slipping
Away...
Fools who dance
And never get sick of the dark
Runaways sipping
Milkshakes and
Popping
Cherries
He's asking
She's whispering
Nobody knows
Like it matters.
The mirror's already broken.

that's devastating. love hurts to hold, like broken glass.
she sees a disdainful reflection in the mirror, & does not try to make it pretty.
that's it, I'm off milkshakes...
