I'm fine. I just feel like I'm shattered into hundred of little shards of glass and I'm going to hurt everybody who loves me.

Teardrops
slip
down
my shocked face

I watch you
wither away
and turn
bitter

I hear the rough insults
that are shot like arrows
at my defenseless heart

I mourn the love
that you used to give
Now you hold it back
too scared to let it go

Now sobs rack my body
as I realize
I am talking about myself

I never realized until now that I am scared of something that is invisible to my scared eyes.

First dentistry was painless.<br /> Then bicycles were chainless,<br /> Carriages were horseless,<br /> And many laws enforceless.<br /> <br /> Next cookery was fireless,<br /> Telegraphy was wireless,<br /> Cigars were nicotineless,<br /> And coffee caffeineless.<br /> <br /> Soon oranges were seedless,<br /> The putting green was weedless,<br /> The college boy was hatless,<br /> The proper diet fatless.<br /> <br /> New motor roads are dustless,<br /> The latest steel is rustless,<br /> Our tennis courts are sodless,<br /> Our new religion &mdash; godless.
