Jagged Shards

You snuck out late in the night after all was said and done. And my heart instantly broke: I never thought that you'd run. You, silently slipped away, while sleep, veiled my trusting eyes. And my fears became real: for you left with no goodbyes. Love was a fantasy dream: a mirage, time tore apart. And, as the fragments shattered, jagged shards: impaled my heart. I'm teetering on the edge that divides sane from insane. And my heart's devastated: I cannot conceal my pain. Acid tears dissolve color: leaving only shades of grey. Yet, I won't give up on Hope: I'll find my soulmate someday.
