i was in tears as i walked away
nothing would ever be the same
heavy words i so longed to say,
- silence - as none could escape.
crushed, by what you had done
glass tears etching pain, cutting,
scarring hurt on this fragile heart
past memories shown on repeat,
no longer hidden, shame sets in
my blade carving pain upon flesh
mistakes never to be forgiven.
raging battles torment my mind
unsure of where to go from here
with hurt written upon each tear
nightmares never to be forgotten
haunted, i long to silence them.
choking, clenched ropes of regret,
pull tightly around my weak heart,
shards fall, left laying on the floor
shattered, never to be restored
kneeling down, picking up pieces
they're sharp like a razor's edge
a painful cut with every attempt
dying to mend this brokenness,
blood spills on pieces left to lay,
life -silenced- pain drifts away.
