I walk on glass
When I'm around you.
My cuts are small
and you don't seem to know they exist
but nevertheless they do.

I tell you please pick up the glass
so we can move past this rage
that makes me feel like I'm trapped in this cage.
Nevertheless you look at me with a lifeless stare.
As I should dare incline to believe this.

You never seem to know how I feel
though endlessly I appeal to you.
So I just keep walking on broken glass.
Torturing me little by little, until
the bandage seems to protect no more.

Rosebud1229.....

       I think this is a very expressive
       poem. There's so many people who
       live their lives walking on glass!!
            Nice writing, my friend....

Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Thanks Bustem, It's also the way you feel when your feeling don't seem to be heard.

Rosebud,
you have such a wonderful way of expressing things which are so hard to talk about.
Keep sharing your beautiful words, however painful

Very impressive work here ...

the breaking of the glass resembles the tearing apart of a relationship very well...

in other words, I enjoyed reading

regards,
sudhir
