Touched
And broken
Once forever seemed seeable
Now it is a handful of shattered mirror
When it was whole
It showed two
Now not even one
My reflection shivers away
When yours isn't there with it
Your hand touched mine
A mouthful of apologies pass
And you belong to another
And he to you
What I thought was sound
Had a fracture beyond my senses
And now the line is a chasm
The continents, shattered
I never would have thought
Something indestructible
Could be sundered with the breath of a touch
Touched
And broken
A very sad poem...but so touching. The depth of emotion that you project in just short, simple lines is phenonmenal. Beautifully written!
Pax,

i found you from jessika. i really love your writing, it's sad and somewhat mysterious and everything i want to be able to do.
Absolutely beautiful. Almost made me shiver.. not just because it's freezing in here, but just .. a lot of emotion I guess. I can't really explain, but I can say I liked it and it was well done.
dude...wow thats fu.ckin awesome, i like how you end the same as you started, love the style, indirect and it doesnt say everything...awesome stuff..sorry my comment sounds all airheaded but i really do like this poem...
