"Broken" Broken- It’s all over the floor Sprayed across The glass stands still Mischievous light dances upon it Throwing laughter off the walls. It laughs at me. I basked in shadow- Relished His touch! And all my own- I have suffered. The boy doesn’t understand. How I stood- how I stand Clutching my broken heart Trying to keep the blood in But still the life leaks, The glass to deep Sobs rock my body, They quicken death; He seems content to watch though, Till I beg his gleaming smile to bite. Bite! Upon my neck- take me now! I care not He hates me so it matters not. Nothing will- Not ever more No, I fear we have lost My heart and I Soul left me long ago- the Glass did Away with the last of her. The floor is to thin, when I fall I will crash- So then I come down Barreling past Closing my ears to His wicked laugh Trying not to picture his face. My arm flails and I gasp- My heart frantic in panic My eyes intake: No glass, no Death Simply my forlorn room, my sheets knotted around me. It was, simply and just- a dream But knowledge brings no relief. I still fear He is still hunting I am still wanted. |
