Glass shards

i threw a vase


it smashed next to


your head


into a million tiny


glass shards


raining down making


small clinking


and trinkling sounds


on their way down


sparkling like glitter


but more deadly


i threw it in anger


your eyes looked


at me with


so much hurt


that i felt my own


heart shatter like


the vase i had just


thrown and you


cupped my cheek


and kissed me


before removing the


glass shards


and the splinters


you threw it


all out cleaned


up my mess as


usual and then


you turned to me


and said


'sorry' and really


i was the one


who should


have said sorry


and we both


knew it


and not deep inside


of us


but just under the


surface we knew


that you apologized


for me
