Shatter glass glares

from across the library

prick and punture my back

I don't turn around

I didn't think

she would care

this much

or that her care

would hurt

this much

I was unaware

of the consequences

then when I just wanted

to qench my thirst

I thought she was over him

I thought he was fair game

But now looking back

through the mirror of

my tears

I realize how foolishly

I acted

But I had only wanted practice

And I remember how proud

I felt

after I swallowed

a popsicle from the frige

would have cost one dollar

But blowing him

Cost me my life

and now I walk to school

alone
