Shattered Water
Often I look to the water
And I do not see my reflection anymore,
The surface ripples in the breeze
Allowing me to know something’s underneath,
Even when distorted
I see him daring me to take the forfeit,
I continue to search
For what it submerged,
But all I see is him. Blue eyes
Staring at me, tempting me to break,
The pain is bundled inside of me
Like the dark secrets of this lake,
The moments I shared with him
Start to seep out the cracks,
Trickling out of my eye
Like a rusty leaking tap,
A leaf stirs the water
And I cannot see his eyes anymore,
My frustration rattles like a breeze
Until my true despair scuttles back underneath.
