Shattered glass

There's this cafe I used to go to–

I lived just down the road.

With mismatched,

gray and salmon tiles.

For years, it felt like home.

I left the suburb a while ago,

thinking that it was best.

The fence that borders

our little home,

surrounded by my ex.

The yellow door that kept us safe,

windows of painted glass.

I walked

through

shattered

glass.

“I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” —Flannery O’Connor

Taking moments I disappeared, and unlearning all my fears.

Still finding my voice, happly learning out loud.

Would love any feed back x
