Like crystal..........

Some times you become

Utterly helpless

Like when your favorite vase

Falls from the table

As if in slow motion

Your eyes go wide

When the realization hits you

That you can’t save it

Unless you’re super human

Either way you jump forward

Trying to attempt the unthinkable

Just to be a few seconds too late

A few inches too short

And in that split second

You know the end

But you still try to hold on

Refusing to grasp the reality

And the crystal shatters

Into a million pieces

Leaving your staring
