Lament of a Broken Heart

Doesn't the title say enough?

Tattered shreds flutter in the cold breeze

As footsteps,

Staggered,

Slowly lead to hands and knees

 

A silhouette bowed in the distance,

Collapsed to the ground in pain

Begging as silent tears hit the ground,

For just one more try,

Another chance

 

I hear the crying

Feel the tears

For I know this pain,

This torture,

It’s worse than dying

 

Oh how I long for another chance with you,

To be with you,

Fall asleep against your warmth,

Laugh at the jokes only I understand,

Know that the love I feel from you is true

 

But I can have this no more,

We’ve parted ways,

You’ve moved on,

But for me,

Every breath is a chore

 

I can no longer feel the rain against my face,

Nor the sun warm my skin,

Nothing can pull me from this frozen state,

As I desperately try to fill this empty space

 

My heart beats no longer,

Not for you,

Not for me,

What doesn’t kill you,

Isn’t it supposed to make you stronger?

I feel you. It will, it will.
