Bursting Bubbles
High upon my pedestal
the darts from your eyes
pierce my scarred heart.
Cloud Nine slowly evaporates
dissipating from under our feet
as the realization of who I am
slowly chips away at the ideal
in which you cling to.
Willing to sacrifice all
to stand fast and solid
amidst growing insecurity
that leaves a trail
of broken eggshells
stomped in defiance
of your bursting bubble.
