Shattered fragments,
spill onto the table,
reflecting what was once there,
but now is gone,
in the fragile light.
He scoops them up in his hands,
and feels each one peirce his,
sensitive flesh.
Slowly apple red liquad,
trickles down his hand.
As if in slow motion,
they drip from his hand,
onto the stone floor,
making a soft crash,
that echoes through,
the air that is so silent,
it crackles in your ears.
Thrusting his hand into,
his starched shirt,
attempting to make a tourniquet,
he grabs the goblet of water,
hastily dumping it on the floor.
Scrubbing with all he has,
with a clothe napkin,
at the blood,
trying to erease the evidence,
of his pain.
But the evidence can't,
be effaced,
it has been stained into the floor,
for all to see,
what it is like,
to be lost inside.

Reminds me so much of myself and what I've lost within myself and yet gained through the last year or so. I have become someone different and thank goodness for the most part, but I have also lost a lot within this year also.

This isn't a poem. It's a reservation in a contest. I was given a prompt, and I still have to write for it. I'm sorry for the confusion.
