We, Glass

Conflict flashed across her face

In the darkness her eyes sparkled

“Who are you?”

I implored, the tears spilling

Lightning tore apart the sky

The wind tried in vain to take her hair

“I don’t know”

She whispered.

That was when she exploded

We shattered into a thousand pieces

On the forest floor,

Sharp fragments of us lay

Glinting in the darkness

No trace of life

We didn’t know we were glass

Until it was too late.
