Even just a Meaningful Drop
December 19, 2010
I see the glass
Unbroken perfection
Until I see its horror
My reflection tattered and broken
Eyes swelled
Cheeks bruised
Nose gushing
I wish to be on the other side
To look and feel normal
Away from your beatings
I see the tears
Streaming to my bloody chin
Delicate and gentle
Beauty could come from fear
I am done being your dancer
Twirling inside your forceful grasp
If tears could be free
So could I
