Fragments

The fragments of my heart pierces my very soul.

Simplicity does not define that which I long for most

Nor can I describe the emotions that have served as an unyielding familiar

For I am lost along a sea of forbidden memories with no sign of coast

Forgotten, forsaken, I am forfeited to a desolate existence with no deliverer

With a heavy sigh, the shards of my broken heart move within my chest

Throwing into sharp relief pain, and anger, I should have overcome

Yet my world still revolves around you, into my soul I feel the brand pressed

My thoughts never straying from you, my tireless mind never believing the sum

Regret, remorse, these are just words etched onto a crumpled piece of paper

Letters thrown together to attempt to immortalize an emotion that I cannot understand

Slowly the fog of apathy threatens to overwhelm, a most vile and arduous vapor

But you were my only light, and through my tireless existence shall memory be spanned

My world is afire, burning throughout day and night, leaving naught but sour ash

Searing flames that ignite the payload of my heart, refusing to be extinguished

Cascading into some primordial madness, the flames climax with an audible flash

Clutching my the fragments of my shattered heart, my love for you I refuse to relinquish

Author's Note

I don't know what to say. It's been a long time since I've written. This definitely doesn't feel the same as my other ones.
