Shattered Heart Poem by Karly Jaye

Your words are like daggers
Like your tongue is made of silver
Sending me shivers
Every time you unclench your teeth
And begin to speak to me
A heart that you threw, shattered, and stomped on all the pieces
Meant something to me, but was evidently worthless to you
And you have the nerve to ask me how I'm doing these days
Well is it okay to say I'm tortured with pain and shame
But I guess I'm alright considering I died this time
With this smile on my face that hides the suffering inside
As you placed your hands upon my chest
And pressed until my lungs collapsed
Watched me as I struggled for every breath, every gasp
Buried alive, turning in my grave
Without my shattered heart
That God forgot to save
