A broken heart

If a heart shatters into a million pieces,

Is it possible to claw them all back?

Like a blind man grasping at minute, distant visions,

It is feeble and impossibly black.

Even the most beautiful rose has thorns on its stem,

Even the kindest of dogs still can bite,

But what of the heart that was shredded long, long ago?

Can it be hurt even more in one night?

It feels as though my world has stopped turning, once again,

Like someone has pulled the plug on my life,

I question why I am being put through this torture,

What have I done to deserve all this strife?

It feels like a vast emptiness locked up inside me,

One that cannot possibly be filled up,

It silently howls and cruelly disturbs my weak mind,

It's pain that I drink from a boundless cup.

I relive the moment my heart split in two, each night,

I relive the torment and agony,

I relive the emotions that crushed me to the core,

Spasms of pain last for eternity.

I live a lonely life now and I can trust no one,

For fear that the pain will return once more,

But I have only to last out my life here on earth,

Then we'll meet when I walk through heaven's door.
