The Glass
Shattered on the floor.
It fell from my door.
Unknown reasons made it brake,
As it trembled at my wake.
I can't say whether I was dreaming,
But the glass piece is streaming.
As I tried to open the door,
My knees fell and hit the floor.
The glass pierces my knees,
I beg, and beg pleas.
What's going on, I have to ask
As I'm looking through the strange glass.
