Chalice

Broken
The crystal chalice in a million pieces
On the floor
The tiny shards slipped through the cracks
In your rage
You knocked it from its guarded shelf
Without a care
Destroyed its delicate design
You told her once
That she meant more than precious silver
That you would give
Your life to stay there by her side
Just a lie
You waited til she grasped your bait
Then pulled her down
Enjoyed her pain and watched her cry
In due time
You'll put your chalice back together
Though she'll forgive
The cracks will still remain behind

Sad but really powerful poem. Well done

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is powerful and you tell a true story we all do sometime without knowing. I learn with time for forgiveness to be quiet and when pissed off. Say nothing. Words can be permanent scars that won't heal too quickly. A outstanding poem with a lesson to be learn if read properly.
