shattered past


i saw a shattered mirror today,
looked in to see a broken reflection,
a remnant of what was.
i saw my broken dreams,
and my swiftly fading past.
i saw all of the pain,
watched all of the tears,
standing there silently,
not glancing away.
i watched a single droplet,
like a little crystal tear,
trickle down the broken glass
until it was stopped in a crack.
it could not escape that crevice,
as i could not escape my past.
run as i might,
i could not hide,
and now i face it here.
i tried to wash away the pain
with yet more agony,
but mere physical torment
could not wipe it all away.
