A heart shattered
Slivers of resentment
Masked my
Discontent
Like humpty dumpty
It all fell down
Crashing
A patchwork of
Frayed emotions
Strewn across cluttered fields
Spilled out
The foils of an aching heart
The creech, creech, creech as my heart broke
Brought increasing agony as each nerve ending woke
And the horrid stench of sordid blues
Gave rise to the filth of the sins I chose
There was a tortured cry from an aching soul
For the tales, the deceit, and the lies I’ve told
When day break came and my pain did not cease
I prayed for forgiveness but it brought little relief
With splintering shards splayed across the floor
The wailing of my heart screamed once more
As chasms and fissures began to grow
And the splintering sound of cracking grew
It overwhelmed the silent winds that blew
Erasing the happiness I once knew
‘Til heartbreak no longer filled the air
No misery and anguish. No feigned despair
Shattered
A million pieces of puzzlement
I followed the light that mingled in the east
Met damaging shards of emotional grief
(I had inflicted on me)
There was no relief
No…shred of hope or sacred belief
No peace to pacify my weary soul
No stories told of long ago romance
No chance for happiness
No mo’
Will fantasy-filled dreams infect my soul
…corrupt my day
I am held sway by Hell’s wicked beast
Without relief
Never again
Shall I be
