Sacrilegious

Sacrilegious

A Poem by Yue Zhang
"

It's a song I wrote

"
Throw it away
that never-ending cycle
Toss it out
My broken shattered life
Reaching towards
the darkness deep within

Sacrilegious
Can't be precious
crumbling to pieces
I'm raining on today
I'm taking it all away

I held on for too long
waiting for our song
Standing all alone
in the center of the room

Strangers passing by
with pity in their eyes
as I hung my head
tears staining my eyes red

What kind of love is this?
The kind that I'll never miss
No commitment
no fulfillment

Sacrilegious
can't be precious
crumbling to pieces
I'm raining on today
making it go away

Don't bother looking for me
I'm setting you free
I never had a choice
unable to find my voice

Were you the prisoner? 
Or was I?
Bound by this sacrilegious lie
The love that was never born
emotions that were so forlorn

Sacrilegious
Can't be precious
crumbling to pieces
I'm taking it all away
saving it for another day

Promises that were never kept
created tension that never slept
Silence was our norm
awaiting the next storm

Too tired to piece it back together
start looking for better weather
Why did you leave
me behind  with this stranger,
This stranger who is so unkind
I thought we had something special
something that was worthwhile

Sacrilegious
Can't be precious
crumbling to pieces
I'm saying my goodbyes
leaving you behind

This is a good piece. The concept or symbolism is very poignant. Feeling tossed aside and heartbroken is universal and you express the pain vividly. However, I think perhaps it could be tightened up a bit or edited. Maybe delete the refrains unless it is meant to sound more lyrics.....
