shattered.

I’ve split under the pressure
into tiny crystals,
smaller than the microscopic needles
you used to pierce through my skin
into my heart.

I’ve cracked like ice
under your metal spear
that you ran through my ribs,

like skis upon snow.

  • Sometimes the greatest poems just pop into the greatest poet's heads.

    *cough*thisandyou*cough*

    Last two stanzas;
    "I’ve cracked like ice
    under your metal spear
    that you ran through my ribs,

    like skis upon snow."

    So sad, but to me, they kinda make you look strong.

    It's deep and descriptive. Very nice poem. Stark images in the poem. It sounds painful. Good job and good luck in the contest.

    mmmm I love the wintery imagery in the last couple of lines.
    however, you have DEFINITELY written something very close to the first stanza before lol because I remember reading it.
