ShatterGlass

The feelings of being abandoned, worthless, and betrayed.

ShatterGlass

 

I feel so alone.

I led myself so far from home.

Lost in the shadows, I see what's not clear,

Never again though because I'm dying right here.

 

Drag myself down by the mistakes that I made,

Losing to madness because of the happiness I trade.

Fall to depression, I fail to see the light,

Going so far now, I'm still sore from goodbye's bite.

 

Laying on this line of broken dues,

Finally realizing what you put me through.

Through the wave of tension, I shiver,

I'm down here and drowning in the river.

Nothing is left, I can't see the grade

Losing to the waters we used to wade.

This isn't the end, this is only the start,

The only problem with that is that they both break my heart.

The days are numbered, the paths are blocked,

And through these ties, I feel so mocked.

Your comfort, so high,

Too late, this is nigh.

Living through the dead of night

Still means coping with all of the fright.

In this darkness, I may see the light

Letting myself fall so I don't need to fight.

Broken now, the new will begin,

I'm just a shard of shatterglass that can't take it again.

 

Nothing here is what I see,

I just know you've broken me.

Lost in the dead fog of the mire,

Losing my hope to the sins of desire.

I can't see the light, I don't know the end,

All I know here was left for this to bend.

Constant reminders glued into my skull

Lost to the madness, now I fade to null.

 

Broken past the final line of defense,

Losing feeling to this dead recompense.

I know how hard it is to try,

I felt the lost as I began to cry.

 

Today I forfeit what I conspire

Because I know it's hopeless for me to resist the fire.

Held to the thorn of a bleeding rose,

I close my eyes to the wrath of the crows.

 

Cleanse me now in this dirty lake,

Save yourself for my sake.

Forever now shall I tire,

Losing to the fate of the empire.

Crying out, I beg, I plead,

Knowing I was no better in greed.

They break our bones, they snap our pride,

In this conscience, I scream my bide.

Let myself become one with who died,

So overboard, I sync with the tide.

Everything fades out to one,

I let myself fall into none.

Flying over, they hear my cries,

Crying on, my confidence dies.

Knowing I feel what I've lost,

I throw myself down to equal the cost.

Broken now, the new can begin,

I'm just a shard of shatterglass that can't take it again.

 

Nothing here is what I see,

I just know you've broken me.

Lost in the dead fog of the mire,

Losing my hope to the sins of desire.

I can't see the light, I don't know the end,

All I know here was left for this to bend.

Constant reminders glued into my skull

Lost to the madness, now I fade to null.

 

Now the lightning cracks, the thunder booms,

Resembling my apocalypse of overburdened gloom.

(Nothing here is what I see!)

The rain of fire finally begins,

Left in the dark, my patience grows thin.

(I just know you've broken me!)

I feel the moisture fall in through my skin,

And the fire lets my pain come back in again.

(Lost in the dead fog of the mire,)

Into my bloodstream, the rain breaks free,

Locking me out of all I want to be.

(Losing my hope to the sins of desire.)

I can only force myself through the pain,

Even though there's nothing for me to gain.

(I can't see the light, I don't know the end,)

With no one to turn to because no one will listen,

I'm stuck halfway through in my depressed remission.

(All I know here was left for this to bend!)

I walked out of every corner, into all their eyes,

And yet they still reject all that I try.

(Constant reminders glued into my skull!)

I break my soul away from my body

In order to lose this worthless commodity.

(Lost to the madness, now I fade to null!)

 

I sift through the wreckage and debris,

I can't be saved, that much I see.

No regrets now, because they have no point,

I now see all the sorrows life will appoint.

Coin the phrase, I will not be fazed,

As I come to terms with all the wrongs you praise.

So lay me out now and let me go,

Because this is all I'll ever know.

I count my blessings and bind them in chains,

But I know you'll still take them all the same.

Iridescent, I float down from the sky,

Voiceless still as I cry out my goodbye.

 

Nothing here is what I see,

I just know you've broken me.

Lost in the dead fog of the mire,

Losing my hope to the sins of desire.

I can't see the light, I don't know the end,

All I know here was left for this to bend.

Constant reminders glued into my skull,

Lost to the madness, now I fade to null.

 

Broken now, the new may begin,

Because I'm just a shard of shatterglass that can't take it again.

 

 

Author's Note

I wrote this in more of a song format, but I mean, songs and poetry go hand in hand.
