Broken and dismissed

When you found me I was already broken,

ripped in too many pieces to count.

Life was empty as this river ran dry,

no way to express anymore my feelings.

Blood kept me going as time passed by,

crying only when emotions were deep.

So it was there when you left me the same,

broken together to taste pain again.

Looking back to yesterday’s hope,

I found that within your arms I had life.

When love could not bear what I had to give,

I was tossed away like nothing and dismissed.

The moon shines brightly tonight over me,

so tranquil yet full of this storm cloud in mind.

Rain blistering sorrow painted by fate,

as my life becomes the reason I die.

Does it matter anyway if you left me how you found me,

if all that was ever meant of me was nothing.

I try to think about it but loneliness calls,

only feelings leading me back to brokenness.

Alone I stand in these shadows one more night,

where love is my curse, one I’d die for again.
