No Longer Broken



  I shall no longer be your vase of crystal
   waiting to be broken,
   flowers vanished into ash and dust.

  My eyes shall no longer be composed of polished marble
    your reflection is fading,
     in my darkly salted oceans
    where waves of you no longer reside.

   My spirit is no longer a vessel to hold you
    it's emptiness is filling with cold silver stars,
   from the elysian fields of destiny
   not a single spark that has been thrown from your
   callused hand.

   I will not let you hurt me
    you will not know of my pain,
   it will sink too deeply where the flesh
    has slowly burned away.

    I will not let you find me
     you will not know where I have gone,
    past my body
     into warm carmine pools and ivory bone.

   My heart is my own now
    not stolen by charms
   no spell can be cast or enchantments performed,
  I know now what you are
   and I shall no longer be hung
   upon your hook of empty words and empty glances
   to be the prisoner of this painted world
  that you have chose for me...

   I am no longer broken...
