Shattered

It's all that's left behind

By Meredith HarmonPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Only one thing to do - make glass beads. Lots of them. Beauty out of discarded trash.

How did you fall out of love with me?

Broken dreams, shards beneath my feet.

Razor's edge leaves bloody soul

prints in empty, ghost-filled

rooms. I've been replaced

with another,

already?

Going,

Gone.

About the Creator

Meredith Harmon

Mix equal parts anthropologist, biologist, geologist, and artisan, stir and heat in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, sprinkle with a heaping pile of odd life experiences. Half-baked.
