Cinderella's first-aid kit
March 27, 2013
I asked Cinderella's mice to patch up my broken heart -
they began. Poke, stab, prod.
Yes, it was painful now, but knowing that it would be beautiful later
I clenched my teeth and closed my eyes.
A glass slipper can easily get lost, but it can shatter just as quick
and that's what happened to us.
The sharp pieces that were never swept up still rip me apart.
We'll both have permanent scars where the jagged edges of our love collided,
but you see,
yours bled and mine bleeds.

Oh, and I love this line.. "A glass slipper can easily get lost, but it can shatter just as quick." That's is a really good way to put it.. it fits well in the poem and it has an interesting meaning. This is a really nice poem. Good job!
