Shattered
Dimly lit in memory
Tiny glass fragments
Once were a menagerie
Festering sentiments
Shattered the fragile peace
Delicate hopes held in vain
Songs played that would soon cease
Delusions covering pain
First was the slamming door
Then unfettered tears fell
Next the dance on the floor
That broke the unicorn's spell
It could rejoin the herd
But was given away
A token of the absurd
Things went unspoken
Until the final quake
Then all were broken
As well did the circle break
I still hear the music play
Set to that darkest hour
When the collection broke
And I transformed my power
Tiny glass fragments
Once were a menagerie
Festering sentiments
Shattered the fragile peace
Delicate hopes held in vain
Songs played that would soon cease
Delusions covering pain
First was the slamming door
Then unfettered tears fell
Next the dance on the floor
That broke the unicorn's spell
It could rejoin the herd
But was given away
A token of the absurd
Things went unspoken
Until the final quake
Then all were broken
As well did the circle break
I still hear the music play
Set to that darkest hour
When the collection broke
And I transformed my power
