Hope
June 12th 2023
The dangers of hope
Like a tower of crystal glasses
My hope stacks higher
Waiting to come crashing down
And lacerate my heart below
A thousand tiny shards
Of my own making
Piercing through my emotions
I carelessly left vulnerable
The razor sharp slivers
Slice my fingers as I pluck
Never again will I stack
These crystal glasses
Never again will I stack
These crystal glasses
Never again will I leave
These precious pieces of me open
