The Last Piece
I hear the defened shattering sound
of the last piece of my heart
All the tiny pieces will never be found
gone is my hope of true love
His words just seemed so real to me
and his touch so warm and protective
I was really in love this time don't you see?
now the only thing I can feel
Is my tears rolling down my cheek
I stare deep into the unknown
My body is so fragile and weak.
each beat of my heart
Brings slow agonly unbound
thump thump thump thump
Comes pain to my heart unbound
each breath I breath
Feels as though poison enters my soul.
the time has come the time has come
The time has come for love to take its toll
my life I want to end
Today I slowly die in my memories
memories of good and bad
Tonight I reach death for a peaceful moment
as my eyes flutter and my thoughts stop
Tomorrow my death starts all over again
my aching head spinning like a top
Many times my heart has broken
many times there is still one big enough piece left
Each time I give it as my loves token
but now the pieces are too small
Only slivers in my soul
my soul is imprisoned by a wall
I don't think I can pull through this time
my stomach is in a knot
My lungs are compressed
this time I have not fought
My body quivers
and I cannot stand
My skin turns pale
amongst my tears there is no land
It's apathy's fault I do not cry
I am hurt so bad I feel no pain
He's gone he's gone
I stand alone in the rain
The rain drops will be my tears
The evenings gloom will describe how I feel
How can I find the end to this poem
when what I feel would take a lifetime to describe
Short and long the lines go on
only glimpsing at what I feel tonight
Of all the times why now
when all else has gone wrong.
I trusted you, I opened up to you
you knew my hearts story
My trials and my torubles
you say your sorry
But did you reallly care?
never more will I see your face
Feel your touch and hear your words
goodbye stranger of my shattered heart
Goodbye goodbye forever goodbye.
