Broken life in love

I am bleeding as my fall comes to its end,

no fear left to face alone as I die.

Covered in the memories of yesterday,

haunted by the ghost of love’s demise.

As I lay here in agony I am caused to see,

what guilt has taken from me in these times.

Lifeless heart abandoned by grief,

crying tears so broken I rest no more.

Wretched soul bleak my outcome nonexistent,

torturous feeling fading far away.

In my sorrow I see nothing but the end,

a hole filled with nothingness and pain.

Waiting by the door my death calls out my name,

reminding me of a time when I mattered.

Silence now my vessel, anguish my only friend,

torn apart to find what rests beneath.

Throat slit too deep to mend my heart again,

my hand holds the blade, my eyes see the sin.

What I might have been stops in what I have become,

bleeding by the brokenness felt so far from love.

Taught by regret my way starts the same,

in darkness I cry, in your light I give my life.
