Shattered Trust Poem by Grace Gardiner

I pick up the shattered piece of mirror on the floor
I look at my reflection
I can’t help it
I don’t want this anymore
The lies keep coming back
They’re burning my skin
Reminding me of everything
The things you did
I’ve got to get free, away from this pain
Never look back, cry in the rain

I don’t know how I let this happen
All I have is myself to blame
The sadness it brings, I feel so ashamed
I’ve got to cover up my feelings
Ignore the flames
Never look back, cry in the rain

I thought we would stay together forever
At least that’s what you promised
All I’ve got is our memories to keep me sane
I’ve got to forget all the dreams
Never look back, cry in the rain

Everything we had is gone
I’ve fallen to the floor
Finally at peace, I don’t feel the cold anymore
See the shattered piece of mirror
It resembles our trust
Broken…no more.
