i am
a broken window
my last piece
of peace
dangles
precariously
in the breeze
a scintillating
shard of sanity
i eagerly await
watching fall

i saw her
and in her
smile
i saw
everything
except she
was smiling
at someone
behind me

maybe i was
never truly
there at all

hell
i’m not wholly
convinced
i am here
now
