Of The Broken Mugged Man

broken hearted mug

 

broken Mug

Broken china cup pieces,
Litter the kitchen floor,
I am awake picking up the shards,
A fragment of a red red heart,
Broken,
Just like mine,
Losing words and heat,
Just like me,
………………..shattered

broken heart mug
I never wanted much,
Now I expect even less.
Yesterday this was my favourite mug,
Today it’s a mess,
Yesterday I was loved,
Today I pick pieces from the floor,
A shattered mug bleeding out its core
Just like mine
……………….Unlovable,
Where do broken mugs go?
Time ticks everything away,
Picking up pieces from the floor,
I don’t weep I know how this story ends,
You told me yourself,
The unlovable wind up in one place
Just like me
………………..Discarded.

Discarded

This is the first part of a six part duet, I write something then Mable rights it…..

    That was a great analogy of mug and heart. Nicely done. I could feel the cuts and wounds made by the shards.

      ah yes picking up shards has a nasty habit of cutting you while you clean up…. hmmm that reminds me of how I should proceed with the next part of this duet

    Whoa…this was quite heavy and personal. The emotions were more apparent than in your usual writing, and I like it!

    I anticipate this duet thing might be most fun when you speak it out loud. Waiting for more.
