You could write in any genre or style, but use this as the central theme.
Glass Vase.
My chest feels like it’s collapsing on itself,
Constricting my ragged breathing,
Constricting my thumping heartbeat,
How could you?
My eyes are on the verge of bleeding tears, Seconds away from flooding my cheeks, Hopelessness gradually discoloring my skin,
Why did you?
I wish to shriek and shout,
But my lips remains a thin line,
My brain processing, disbelieving…
Why do you not care?
My soul believes it is common waste, My security feels imaginary, And it’s all from your selfishness,
Did you ever care?
My trust in you is a glass vase on the ground,
Shattered into millions,
Spilling its contents on the hardwood,
Waiting for someone to throw it out or repair it.
What did I do to deserve this?
