Like Glass

Anything can break like glass,
if you make it fall.
I should know, can't you see
this heart, this plaster cast?

Anything can fall apart,
if you push enough.
I wonder if, is this why
I say that I don't care?

And any door can be unlocked,
with the proper key.
But, honey, don't you think I know:
that key won't work with me.

Author notes

I don't even remember quite WHEN I wrote this; only that it was months ago. To the people who tend to read my poems, sorry that I haven't been online... life's gotten more than crazy.

[Update: Jan. 31st '08] I don't particularly like this poem anymore, so feel free to... not comment... yeah.

    sad

    You express your hurt very well in this poem. A broken heart takes so much time to heal. I like the reference to the plaster cast. Sometimes it seems easier to shut down emotionally and not care, but I don't think that is a good thing to do. One day you will find the right key and live happily ever after.

    Nice

    This is a very nicely penned poem and I did find one minor suggestion that may or may not help ya but just an idea:

    Anything can break like glass,
    if you make it fall.
    I should know, can't you see
    this heart, this plaster cast?

    I read that 1st stanza and well I have a suggestion:

    if you make it fall... How about if you allow it to fall

    Just an idea and I donno if that'll help or not. any ways this is a very well penned lovly poem and I really just loved how you penned this so uniquely. any ways keep up the god work

      Thanks for the advice, and the compliments! ^__^

      Hmm, I see what you mean with your suggestion. Though it looks better written, it sounds off to me when spoken. Thanks again, though!
