Shane Hampton Poem
I cower here alone,
Surrounded by the dark,
The pain is unbearable,
The remnants of my broken heart.
You shattered me to pieces,
Opened up all my wounds,
You left me in the darkness,
Alone to face my inevitable doom.
My heart was once a whole,
I trusted it to you,
You were my everything,
My heart had found a new.
I had found my serenity,
My abundance of joy in you,
I thought you were meant for me,
Yet I never pronounced my love for you.
That caused the first crack in my heart,
Shards scatter into the darkness,
You leave me wounded and weak,
My heart still bleeds for you.
I stand alone,
Crippled in the darkness,
The shadow you once cast next to mine now lurks all around,
The pain tore me open,
Leaving me hollow on the ground.
You shattered my heart into blades,
I can’t believe I bled over you,
Stabbing me from within,
With you my emotions left too.
I lay in the darkness,
Alone,
A shattered remnant of who I once was,
Waiting for the end to come.

Shane Hampton Poem
In the shining light,
The sun fades,
Shifting to night,
The last of days,
The people around me,
They surround me,
Fake like the masks they wear,
Through this darkness I dare,
The cold leeching through my bones,
Grasps at me with clawed hands,
With a shoulder I shrug,
With my head up I advance,
In the shining light,
The sun fades,
Shifting to night,
The last of days,
With hands clasped together,
I will lead us through this endeavor,
Out of the cold out of the night,
May we persevere into the light,
The biting cold melted by your touch,
You all lead me as I lead you,
Through this darkness the world’s dark enough,
Until the sun shines through,
We must stick together life is tough,
The unified peoples make the flame,
That ignites the torch of redemption day,
We must put a stop to this petty game,
We are one,
Hear our name,
In the shining light,
The sun still shines,
We have made it out,
All of us,
Redefined.
