HEART OF GLASS

HEART OF GLASS Broken words and broken dreams. A shattered heart that never heals. Pieces of the soul scattered in the wind. Phantoms of hope in flight. Ghosts of what could have been Haunting  the night. A  crippled  heart once made of steel. A stunned soul that can no longer feel.

Joe,

I know this place...I´ve been there myself. Well expressed, my friend! Yours, ~Nina P.S. Do you spell "phantoms" with an "f"? I always spell it with a "ph", as you can see...

And here in this world

And here in this world another heart of glass...like Nina, I can say I have been there before when the glass breaks and the rest of the world crashes. This is simple, but it says everything that a broken heart needs to say. Beautiful write my friend. Peace and Love Katie
