Bleeding Glass

Bleeding Glass

 

Boy, I know you’ve been hurt before

I see the darkness in your eyes

I see the rare flicker of emotions

Of hurt

When thoughts come across

 

I know

What’s been done is done

And you can’t change it

Neither can I

But what’s the point

If we don’t try?

 

You were so alone

Picking yourself up

Finding pieces of your heart

Under the rubble

The glass pieces

Scattered all over the sidewalk

All over the streets

Cars running them over

Not taking notice

 

I wasn’t there

But I’ve been there

Alone before

Just like you

It took me time

To pick up those glass pieces

My fingers are scarred

From all the effort

 

I still remember the stinging

From those cuts

From those scrapes

 

You were alone

You were so alone

And you were so lost

But I found you

 

The concrete wasn’t made for you

To lay in

To fall on

The concrete wasn’t made for me

Either

 

I see the pain in your eyes

I can make it go away

I can ease it

Just let me

 

Let me before you scar

Just like I did

I helping hand that has experienced the same type of pain and affliction should never be turned down. As long as the sufferer knows your being genuine with your efforts to heal their wounds. Great job. I loved reading this poem very much. :)
