Better as a Memory

Like shattered glass
Erupting in slow motion
I watched
As everything
Falls slowly in mid-air
So sparkly
Fascinated
Like a child, I stare
Feeling no fear
Feeling no pain
Mesmerized
I reach out trying to touch
Thinking, if only…
I could shift everything around
Put the pieces back together
Just before it hits the ground
The more I moved it
Like a magnet
Pierce by piece
It shifts back into its space
I’m saddened
But I smiled
I know fate has decided
This is how it should be
So shattered or not
I know it’ll be better
Even if it’s just a memory
