Shards of My Life

Shattered fragments of my life

Are scattered to the wind.

Frantically I seek the bits

To put them back again.

But somehow in the crashing blow

That rended heart and soul,

Some major parts were thrown away

That left a gaping hole.

My equilibrium is off.

I don't know where to start.

The person I once was is gone.

She left with half my heart.

I'm strong.  I'm sound.  And I can cope.

I'm sure I'll be alright.

So why do tears then fill my eyes?

And I tremble in the night?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Nothing is as soft as a loving heart, while no edge is as sharp as a broken one.
