Love

A future was lost the other day. 
Torn apart I could not stop him, 
From leaving me in this depleted hole, 
With nothing left but my burning tears. 
He vanished into the mist, 
Again my soul has been abandoned; 
Left to the company of an aching heart, 
Which he engraved his imprint into so deeply. 
Screaming his name doesn’t bring him back, 
It doesn’t block out the haunting thoughts; 
Thoughts so harrowing I tear at myself, 
Until my troubled mind is drained and weary, 
I haven’t moved from this bed, 
It’s where he left the shattered pieces of me. 
Each day I break myself a little bit more, 
But I am too scared to leave… yet too scared to stay

Shattered Pieces
