I came to you as shattered glass

inside a skin too thin

that I thought could still

hold back all the pain

and asked for you

to come to me

so I could hold you

and keep you warm

but the slivers sliced 

through the hide

and then I made you bleed

and still I could not see

the crimson pooling on the ground

because I was so lost in the stars

inside your eyes

I could not find the hurt

but every time you took

the crystal of the shattered blade

the points became more dull

and you were left with wounds

and I a kaleidoscope of light

where once I only hurt myself
