the shattering of the dream

By KittyStryker

they break each other's hearts
as if
they were bottles
and threaten wildly
with the ragged ends
prepared
to battle
for the blame

neither
would admit
this is all a defense
to protect
the still wounded organ
in their chest

each
would happily point the finger
and lay the guilt
in their lover's bed

but both
will sleep tonight
with the shadowy figure
of regret
