Shatter

Hi everyone! I asked around last summer to find out if anyone would be interested in having short fiction and poetry included on this blog. You guys said you would like to read some of my writing so here it is! This poem called Shatter was inspired by the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. If you haven't read anything by her yet I would highly, highly recommend it too you! Anyways I hope you like my poem and please comment and tell me if you would like to continue reading my writing! You can find more under my new writing page. Happy reading!-Becca

warm summer colors swarm my vision

turn down the street to meet the division

the fork in the road it may appear

and even though we sit nowhere near

I feel your voice right in my ear

and know your thoughts are still right here

and I shatter as your words unravel my mind

Icy blue winter freezes the door hinge

hands so cold my touch makes you cringe

out of my hands the icicles fall

my phones not ringing but I hear you call

the reflection says short but we stand so tall

my words stumble and trip as they ring through the hall

and I shatter as your words unravel my mind

you fracture my breath

you ignite my heart

the glimmer in my eyes was yours from the start

you capture my aura

you unlock my soul
you turned my vision sharp now the worlds not dull

and I shatter as your words unravel my mind

crisp fall wind blows away stray hair

dance through the meadow, anyone can see we don’t care

the sky is raining leaves colored like blood

tight cotton shirts stained with mud

wherever you walk flowers start to bud

visions blind me as I fall into your arms with a thud

and I shatter as your words unravel my mind

you fracture my breath

you ignite my heart

the glimmer in my eyes was yours from the start

you capture my aura

you unlock my soul
you turned my vision sharp now the worlds not dull

and I shatter as your words unravel my mind

and I shatter as your words unravel my mind
