Confection Connection
Innocent beginning
ice cream and lollipops
sticky confections
melted hearts and hands together
Legitimate purchases
to calm an angry mood
or cheer a sad heart
Lines began to blur
with requests coming more often
Willing participants
unwilling to say no
A shift began to occur
as the needs grew greater
sweet toffee
meant to soothe
became tacky
clinging
pulling down
Something to get by
just this once
turned into another
and another
emotions hollow
empty
deeply saddened
instead of uplifted
Relationship disintegrated
right before eyes
cotton candy decomposed
with teardrops of disbelief
Craving connection
a time to share and bond
but all the sweetness
decayed a delicate cord
The link
connecting two hearts
lost
Shattered
Wine glass shatters
stem and goblet severed
illusions of relationship
exposed
Sharp jagged edges revealed
captivating expensive bouquet covered
robust promises
forgotten
hidden
left to languish
unable to balance with delicate notes
of expectation
Scatted shards lay on the table
lay on the floor
as once you laid with me
fragments of our hopes and dreams
loosened from a grasp
now splintered pieces
What once was
no longer is
A stark realization
How appropriate the glass was empty
no red stain on the precious carpet
blank white
pure contrast to tainted desires
no tears
no drops
to mourn the loss
Resignation
a simple break
to open eyes
how fragile words have become
how brittle emotions
Hidden cracks
now fully visible
