The little china plate
That I am
Decorative
Yet ever so delicate
Painted with intricate detail
Handmade
So finely yet
So easily am I broken
A soft touch and tears
Cascade like a waterfall
Of shards
Of sharp white china
Petals shattered
To meaningless
Fragmented pieces of what I used to be
So beautiful and untouched
Fine bone bare and brittle
Brittle bone so fine and bare
Bare brittle bone so fine
