You Saw a Pretty Thing and You Wanted to Break it

.

.

.

Porcelain made 

Fragile written on it 

.

.

.

You peered Into the windows 

And you felt the warmth 

Radiating from the hearth 

.

.

.

You sought comfort 

In the man you thought you deserved 

.

.

.

As you felt around the doors and windows

.

.

.

Checked the hinges 

Checked the boards 

.

.

.

You saw a hidden crack beneath the floor 

.

.

.

You seeped your way in 

.

.

.

Not carefully 

.

.

Not  quietly 

.

.

You seeped in flooding  

You broke through the crack entirely 

.

.

You tried to warm your hands upon the open fire 

.

.

You burned yourself 

.

.

Fighting for the one thing that you desired

.

.

You saw a pretty thing 

And you wanted to destroy it 

.

.

You took that porcelain made home 

And you dropped it 

.

.
