Shattered

I build a beautiful castle in the air
So glorious and majestic
It glistens in the soft sunlight
Yet that castle
Is so fragile
That in the blink of an eye
It dives
From high up in the clouds
And shatter
As it touches the earth
Breaking my brittle heart
Into a million pieces

I scramble to my feet
Stoop low and
search frantically
Desperate to salvage the pieces

Then carefully
I put them back together
Like parts to a missing puzzle

Whole
Yet not the same
For it is wounded and scarred

I am so tired
When can this end?
