When A Pin Dropp Falls, Can You Hear It Shatter? Poem by Leslie Neiwert

When A Pin Dropp Falls, Can You Hear It Shatter?



There used to be a time
When nothing was ever wrong,
When there was happiness
Enough for everyone.
We used to be so happy
Enough to stop these tears
That must have been why
We had always said our cheers.
I remember back to a place
When there were many smiles,
Now my memories are in rows
Upon the floor hidden under tiles.
Tears have now come and went
Things that change my heart,
Did you love the others
As much as me when we were apart?
I use to believe that we were one
Now time has just gone and come
I use to say I’d sacrifice all
Now there’s only silence in my tomb.
I use to need you,
I use to want you all alone
Now my light has gone out
After it gave the brightest to be shown.
Were we really so different
You and me and our mistakes
I had loved you for so long
But now I realize all of your smiles were fakes.
The edges of my world
Seem to dance in my eyes
As the blade enters
My sullen body by surprise.
Could it mean something true
As my love flew
From our darken grave
To his lips in the night.
I could never quite understand
Why he tore me apart
Was it because he was a demon
Does that give him reason to hurt my heart?
May I cry deep inside
When I hear the truth of pride
Upon his lips they do appear
Words of his darken despair.
But do I really fool myself
Is it his words or mine
Could it be such a tragedy
As my heart does die.
He threw me away
Didn’t he?
My eyes were covered in tears.
I don’t understand
Then, but now
Sand still rings in my ears.
I understand that we are
Different in many ways
Maybe now I can close my eyes
And leave behind my final pain.
