938 I Am Alone Poem by V F

my world has fallen apart
shattered around me
thousands of jagged fragments
all pieces of my heart
you want not can not love me you say
i look down
my tears blur sharp edges of the pain
and i wonder
where do i start?
how do i go on? ?
attempting to put it back is futile?
yet cannot leave my heart bleeding thus..
where you flung it
shattering fragments of my love

first teach me how
how to separate the essence from the rose
without destroying it
then perhaps i might
try to tear apart friendship from love

how do i hide my sorrow?
my eyes are testimony
to the deluge that poured
from where my heart had been
i smile..
if i really try, i laugh
but burrowed deep within my breast
lies such pain that lets me not forget
an emptiness that envelopes my mind
and turns the world foggy
i cry i weep i call out hands outstreched
but when i wipe the tears i see myself.. alone...
