Heart Of Glass

This is my old life.

I sit there,

On my rug.

On my table untouched,

Is my favourite mug.

My eyes stare unseeingly,

At the shards in front of me.

My mind is in a flashback,

Of my sorrowful plea.

How could you do this to me?

The question wanders my mind.

The thought is so confusing,

It's making me almost blind.

My glass heart is shattered,

By no other than you.

The glass has gone so cold,

It turns fingers blue.

Tears fall unnoticed,

Reaching for my heart.

Can't bring myself to say,

Don't know where to start.

You've torn my life to pieces,

Then dumped me in the mud.

A red rose means to you,

All I ever want is your blood.

Author's Note

Not long ago, I didn't apprecite life. I didn't know why I hadn't already killed myself. Luckily, God stopped me and turned my thoughts around. Now I know just how important everyone is and no one is the perfect human.

Very intense, the feeling of heartbreak. I like how the words turn to phrases, creating a beautiful flow of sorrow that causes the poem to possess her own body, curves that shape the emotion... Fabulous write... And although it is I am sorry that you have been touched with such heartbreak. It is unavoidable and know that it is a means to an end that will bring you into a relationship where the person who is lucky enough to gain your love and trust, will cherish you.
