Broken Glass Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Seconds away from tomorrow
moments from yesterday
yet these tears still remain

Nobody could have warned you
how forever can come and go
in the blink of an eye

And those whispering voices
echoing words trapped inside your head
keep on telling you

Invisible demons reaching deeply
reaping on your every--emotions
until it's far too late
Time stands motionless
looking through the scattered pieces of--broken glass
Only to realise
it's reflective obscure moments of your life
you thought had long since gone

cold and numb
without the simplest movements--to even feel
Unanswered questions linger in your head
without voice to give response
to the dangers now building within

As your soul becomes mutilated
sacrificed on a burning altar
found to be in vain

Complicated, compromised
folded up and thrown like trash
the bitterness of it all

And all the while
everything is telling you
what you have known all along

Invisible demons reaching deeply
reaping on your every--emotions
until it's far too late
Time stands motionless
looking through the scattered pieces of--broken glass
Only to realise
it's reflective obscure moments of your life
you thought had long since gone.....
