Shattered

The sun goes down 
In my empty room 
The long night awaits 
The torture ahead 
Broken remains of a soul 
Shown no mercy
Silence a crutch 
As well as a gift
Shreds of glass
Upon the floor 
A moment of rage
Now forgotten for another 
Pulling at threads
For a little piece of sanity
Left behind 
In the cruel world 
Lost and choking 
Cluttered and empty 
Looking for solace 
Anywhere, any way
Innocence torn
Forsaken lifeless 
Horror 
I speak not
For I have no voice 
Look not upon the ashes
The dusty remains of my being 
Scattered on the floor 
Pierced by crystal.
