glass heart
Oct. 28th, 2017 02:42 am what would you rather have?
a heart full of glass, glittering like diamond — a devilish ruby light cutting into vein and artery;
(and the pieces twinkle, like the eyes of the children with voices like knives.)
or a heart made of glass, that cracks under pressure — cold, lifeless ice, a mirage, your reflection;
(and a silver light, glinting in the dark, waiting for crystal to shatter and bend) —
you take a step forward, and let yourself break.
