Dashed Hope
Heart dropps
time stops.
Frozen in shock
To the ticking of the clock.
I beg for the return of the floorboards
stolen from under my feet.
Gasping for air,
stranded on an oxygen-deprived planet.
main supporting pillars crumble
as joy is dashed from my world
my eyes go dead.
with nothing but pain rolling around in my head.
*
I scratch at my chest
digging for the whole in my heart.
It's for the best.
mind off the charts.
eyes brimming with tears
newly confirmed fears
chest collapsing on me
I no longer can see
Wraped in a cloak of shame
I officailly lost the game.
My playing peice returns to start.
wishing for the stop of my heart.
offered to numb it out by the day.
still "No" I shall say.
I go home to cry alone.
Dread flowing to my bone.
waiting to repeat,
on my self I beat.
hiding from the sun,
I'm so done.
Tired from the strain,
Dancing in the rain
fractured heat alone,
waiting with a broken heart of stone.
