My Rage

A tornado tore through this place Left us dazed and confused You refused to stay while I refused to leave Left this place in disarray Let’s leave it as it is you say While I say let’s fix up our space Maybe At first, you said the opposite and I thought different Checked myself in the mirror And began to listen to my heart And your voice until It stilled and you just stopped Speaking… Or maybe your voice is my heartbeat And It stopped ticking… A tornado tore through this place And in my mind we both are prisoners You unleashed me from your life As I kept you chained to my soul A tornado tears through this mind Shifts me to and fro Memories upon memories in this shabby space Left me picking up these pieces Of our life as they lay. Trying to fix “us” when there is only me Crying over “we” when there is no you A tornado tore through this place here Inside my heart A gaping hole is there Cold and dark Picking up my shattered puzzle Years later Like pieces of glass from a faded picture In our broken life.
