Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

Broken pieces
litter life’s great hopes
scattered like sparkling
shards of broken glass.
Reflecting and blinding
capable of heat
and cutting deeply.

Wounds
that refuse to heal
leave the scars
that tell a story
no one wants
to read.

Eyes look away
hands offer false
condolensces.
Never touching hearts
that need desperately
the contact
denied them.
Never knowing
the kaliedascope
that lies within.
