So softly in the snow it lays,

Being razed by all,

But feeling grief.

Broken and unwanted,

Its beauty lies amidst the powder.

Its reflection astonishing,

Beneath the pure, white snow.

 

Take a look inside,

To see the night replayed

Just like a scratched CD.

How fast it went,

From being together,

From feeling wanted,

From feeling loved,

In the embrace of someone,

To being broken, shattered, useless—

Lying here on the pavement.

All that walk past you,

Seem mesmerized at your reflection,

But walk on.

 

No one comes to pick up the pieces,

No one bothers,

No one cares—

So they leave you alone and broken

In the silent moonlight,

Until dawn breaks into crimson,

Lavender, amber, and gold.

 

Solitude creeps in,

As melted snow

Runs smoothly down your face,

It takes the shape of a tear,

And drops.

 

Beams of sunlight,

Slowly bounce off your worn, tattered face.

In the glimpse,

Of this early morning sun,

The true you shows—

What an amazing sight!

An amazing piece of work,

Unbreakable and dazzling,

You and your beauty both.

Amazingly gentle and sweet,

With those gorgeous twinkling sparkles,

Dancing off of your face in the sunlight,

Reflecting onto the nearby shadows.

 

Mysteriously picked up,

Violently covered in a black trash bag,

You rip and you tear,

But you remain there.

Through the wind and the rain,

You remain in that constraint,

Until one day—

You finally break free.

 

Along comes a joyous little girl,

As glee as can be,

Scoops you right up,

And carries you home,

Through the suns shining rays,

In hopes that she too,

Will be beautiful some day.
