Shattered

Shattered.  
An hourglass vase  
Dropped by his hands  
Left behind, abandoned  
Crystal strands  
   
Shattered.  
On goers look  
Disgust they conceal  
No longer beautiful  
No more appeal  
 
Shattered.  
Few tried to piece  
Shredded skin they drew  
Not wanted again  
Fragments they threw  
 
Shattered  
man stops  
Carefully he glues  
Part of it's missing  
The heart he pursues  
 
Shattered  
man seeks  
In hands of past  
To find the essence  
No one's unasked  
 
Shattered  
without luck  
He decides to rebuild  
A much stronger core  
The vase he refilled  
 
Shattered  
by its beauty  
It's still not enough  
He got bored then  
played with newer stuff  
   
Shattered  
ignored and neglected  
the pieces began to fall  
Leaks through the cracks  
splattered the wall  
 
Shattered  
once more  
No longer cherished  
Empty and void  
the vase finally perished
