Broken

Your words are like a blade
Slicing through my heart 

 

Tattered remains are all that's left
A hollowness, an emptiness; a soul alone; bereft 
 
How quickly you break me
Inside my heart is weeping
 
Drowning in these open seas
Emotions crashing, raging inside of me
 
Agony is biting, crawling through my veins
Feeling as though I'm burning with a hot, black flame
 
On my knees
Tears spilling to the floor

 

Wishing they could carry the hurt 
To be lost forever in the dirt
 
Muscles are aching
Wishing to hold you
 
Lips are burning
With the ghost of your kiss lingering
 
All I had hoped to be
Now, only a painful memory
 
Dark stain of affliction
burned into my heart
Can't understand why is this over
When just days ago you talked of forever
 
Why am I the only one breaking?
Were your words no more than lies?
 
How can you sit so calm
Just watching as part of me dies?
 
Everywhere I go, I see you
In every recent memory you live
I can't possibly escape you
Seems this pain I'm doomed to relive
 
Don't wait, don't hope
Words never seemed so haunting
 
Re-writing a future erased
A task has never been so daunting
 
Never have I felt so loved
Or loved so strongly too
In all your flaws and all of mine
I gave everything I had to you
 
And now..
 
Never have I been so shattered
Pieces of me so endlessly scattered
Trying to pick up the fragments, fingers fumbling
Knowing some parts will always be missing has me crumbling

More than a love, a friend, now missing from my days
You left an emptiness that hurts in so many different ways
 
So much we let our lives intertwine 
How do I go back to living only mine?
