like glass

I broke it

     It was new and fragile

      I thought I dropped it

     But upon reflection I did not drop it nor toss it aside, but threw it away

 Could it have been a new friendship? 

     A new collaboration? 

     A new opportunity?

What could have grown…blossomed…if nurtured?

               Nothing to do now but remember

                              Perhaps regret

                                             Definitely reflect

 When it landed

     It shattered

     Tiny fragments everywhere

     I doubt it can be repaired

It was new and fragile

                       And I…          I  broke it
