I broke a teacup

I cannot remember if I threw it or smashed it or slammed it against the coffee table

Perhaps i cracked it with my teeth or shattered it with my jaw and ruthless bite.

Possibly I pulverized it in my own hand or scraped at the ceramic with my nails

Maybe I stomped on it with my heel or had thrown it forcefully at his head, aiming to bludgeon,to beat, to kill.


Or maybe it had just fallen



...that's it.
It just fell.

This is powerful. It conveys so much emotions, while staying short. I don't normally care for free verse, but this is very well done. Great job :)
