A Tarnished Man's Soul

Hush the silence, hurt the ignorance, Hurt in the silence, hushed by your loud heartbeat, I couldn't fight for you, I wasn't strong enough, You left me no choice, you pushed me away and pulled someone else close, Now you want us back but you don't mean it, Never did. And call me a fool for believing you and my feeble old heart, Muted by my defeat, a war erupted within and a losing loser I limped away, The breath of life, never tasted sweet anymore, I drank to much of you and it turned poison , Flowing through my system it ossified my already broken spirit , Now the only feeling I have left to converse with is suadade, But she soon changed her face and I got introduced to fury, I always felt anger banging at my door, but never paid him mind at all, But the incessant ringing of a lost war echoing in my ear drums every time you spoke, Broken me, awakened as slumbering danger with in, You annihilated the chance for any happiness we could've had, Now its nothing more than broken smithereens of a future I had so much faith in, Millions of shards protrude from this heart that beat so faithfully never missing a beat, But you came around and I got stuck in time, I try to memorize every aspect of you, But I can't. You already fading from view, a speck in a blurred out photography, The perfect lasted only for a moment, thats all. A moment of a lifetime I wanted to share with you, But it wasn't meant to be, we weren't made to last, You disrupted the flow of gravity within my universe, I got carried away, mesmerized by your silver tounge, Inretrospect a shiny danger aimed at my heart, It wasn'nt to long, plunge you did and I felt it, Dangerously I hanged precariously from the edge, The pain gnawed it's way into a already broken me, What little dreams I had brought nothing but nightmarish revelation of his lips on yours, The harmony we had, was lost forever. The silence gouged at my heart, I didnt put up a fight; but my heart gave in freely. The blood on my hands are testaments to how you obliterated my heart, Love wouldn't stay so it burrowed it's way out of my heart and left me standing at a precipice called madness, I dove right in, praying that the past would hold some comfort for my longing broken heart, Wishing for eternity to grant us passage, but the road we trodded lay in destitute, The sun set on that part of forever, a forever that would never return, Now a tarnished man, I roam these desolate corridors of damned loveless hearts.
