A Poem

By: Jenna Girompini

It's back and forth from closet to corner.
Burn the light and grab one more.
Take my key and lock to keep.
Dare not scare the soul and burn from the inside out.

Love is pain

To push is to torture

Beauty is incomprehensible

Scars are inevitable

Stare at the stars one last time and look at the luminescent light from beyond.
You've cracked the mirror and distorted the image.
Now polish the reflection and mold the cracks to soften the shadow.
In pieces may I be. Please don't touch.
