tiny shards

He put me on a pedestal

And I pompously perched upon it,

High and vacuous until

    He skipped away.

I was defeated

   The pedestal fell

       What a shock I endured, and

     I shattered, tiny shards scattering

Where did he go? What am I not - to him?

  What did I do to make him

turn his back, not caring to look as

     I shattered, tiny shards scattering

The world twirled day after day

  Earth rotated purposefully in its orbit

    The moon waxed and waned until

       My existence eventually brightened

And there were

   Sunbeams striking hanging crystals,

     Shining rainbows onto me, and when

I shattered, tiny shards scattering,

  They were multi-colored, scintillating,

Revealing my new love standing silently in front of me
