catch the teacup

china teacup falling freely

time slowing down…

shattering, scattering shards

 

salty tears trickling

from eyes, from soul

fingers trembling, trying to undo

 

eyes smoldering, shooting hateful darts

darts piercing, cutting, tearing

my wounded, bleeding heart

   

remorseful words

forgiveness pleading

alas, those ears not hearing

 

sorrowful glances

forgiveness begging

alas, those eyes not seeing

 

hasty words, angry acts

joyful friendships

shattering, scattering

 

tender bonds

kindred spirits

once though one; now are two

 

halt the words

end the hate…

catch the teacup
