Broken Jar Poem by Luz H.

I handed you a small glass jar
with all the love in my heart,
nothing fancy just a little glass jar.
You said, 'What is this... an empty jar? '
I said, 'It's a token of my love...
entrusted to the one I love.'

The jar slipped from your hands
shattering to pieces on the ground.
I rushed to pick its content
slicing my fingers,
blood running down my hands.

I tried to capture it,
before my poor soul would fly away
but it was too late!
