Through Shattered Tears And Darkened Hearts Poem by Justin Evett

Through shattered tears and darkened hearts,
you press forwards into the tarnished night.
Suffering nor agony slows you down,
never stopping for second thoughts.

You knew this would happen in the end,
but you thought only of yourself.
You left him, lying in that profaned room,
with a broken heart, and a loaded gun.

The single shot echo's deeper,
past the feelings, past the emotions.
Driving into your mind and your soul,
withering your will to go on, to live.

The sky opens and the rain starts to fall,
as you return to that dark and grim house.
You've one last thing on your mind now,
opening the door to the sight of a crimson stained wall.

You left him, with two bullets in the chamber,
a single forsaken one left alone.
With the last strike of lightning through the dawn,
that echoing sound in your head, is no more.

The 'beginning of forever', is what you said,
as your solution to being together till' ends time.
Not caring about friends, family, or loved ones.
But of yourself...
