Immediate regret in shards

Fist meets phone, glass splinters,
a spiderweb caught in the cold palm.
Silence louder than the crash,
regret sharp like broken plastic.
Staring at the fractured face,
I wish for a rewind, a patch,
a fix to stop the sudden emptiness
that bleeds from the dark screen.
Rage burned quick —
now all that’s left is cracked regret.
