Black and White

Pieces shattered

Scattered everywhere

They’re black and some are white

Broken gruesomely

As if thrown at a wall

From a distance,

They lay

Waiting for someone

To come pick them up

To put them back together

To fix the mess.

But I know

From deep in my heart

That no one will come

That these pieces could never be whole again,

These heavily shattered pieces of my heart.
