These are words. Words can change in meaning, I am fond of words but not of speaking. words have meaning I choose to see the meaning of these words as particular to my personal interest. I am a soul that is lost. I am a thought. I am a broken glass, once beautiful and pure in craftmanship. I am shattered. I am sharp to touch, untouchable. I am cold. The fear of my past hinders my future. Like the shattered glass I am empty. My once warm intereior brought life to partakers but there only ever was one. First, and last? The retention of my broken state rests upon me, the cause upon her.
