The big D ain't for Dallas
Broken
by Realist101
I stare into empty space. My house, my home--has been raped. There is little left of what took thirty years to obtain. Not even the books have been spared. It's as if I don't exist anymore.
No furniture, no clothes ... nothing. Even the dog is gone.
I walk into the kitchen, tears of anger stream, as I see the one thing that I cherished most. Mother's pitcher. I hear him laughing as he slams it down. I kneel to retrieve the pieces. But they are too small.
I pick at the shards of porcelain; the pink rose that adorned it, the delicate handle ... all pieces on the floor. And with them lies my shattered life.
