i let myself

By AnotherWitheredRose



sparkle. shatter.


shining through glass shards
reflections of you


a smile less brilliant
when i grin through chipped teeth and chapped lips



i thought i could get a glimpse of you
from disposed memories
and discarded after thoughts
but my recollection wasnt that clear
and the mirror only displayed
the distorted picture i see now



searching for the kodac moment in my head
trying to remember when i felt pretty
its such a vague idea imprinted in my mind


so


i let myself break
i let myself fall to the floor in fragments
and i let myself shine through
the broken pieces that look like you


sparkle. shatter.


but perhaps, maybe
my imperfections are perfect
and beauty lies
