~~~~~~~~~~~~
lighting the room as my life was once lit by you.
Deceiving chain holds high the chandelier,
proudly displaying its thick metal rope,
concealing links that are weakly united.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slowly iron joints painfully separate,
one link causing the other to fall.
The sparkling chandelier slips
and then crashes upon the hard wooden boards.
Shards of clear glass scatter everywhere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Painful minuscule splinters of my heart
glistening, fragile, diamond fragments,
being carelessly trod upon by your feet.
Melted crystalline tears pouring from my eyes,
freezing into man-made ice upon my cheeks.
