Here


here
i cradle
one more heart of glass
waiting for what will come
to pass
and i am lifted
by the beauty in my hand
cursed and gifted
in a place where only i stand
alone
gazing into this
one more
perfect window
wondering
at the tragedy i see
the stone
im in
that has become me
holding
another
heart of glass
until i shake
and the moment comes to pass
again
i am
left shuddering for days
they play
for keeps
but i do not play at all
and so i weep
and pray to hell
my soul to keep
i weep
not for them
nor me
just weep
without a tear
without a trace of sorrow
