we
slowly picked up
the
pieces that were left
of
our lives in an attempt
to
place it back together
but
despite our best efforts
cracks
still were visible
and
what remained was
just
a shadow of what
we
once were

I imagine a clay pot, cracked and broken - a metaphor for the love you just can't piece back together.
ReplyDeleteFires leave a lot of cracks.
ReplyDeleteLike a volcano destroying everything in its path.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I understand this, so well. So deeply sad.
ReplyDeleteI really understand this... the trick is to let the flames not die but calm into a slow warm glow...
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteThis is deeply evocative. Sometimes the cracks can not be filled/repaired.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the ashes are all we are left with....but hope is a spark to rekindle.
ReplyDeleteSo deeply moving.
