Glass Heart

Glass heart shattered on the floor
His love’s not breathing anymore
Blackbird sings a dirge for her
The flowers, they all wilt for her
The sky’s a darkened hue for her
Rain patters on the windowpane
His world can never be the same
Without her light in his dark day
Her smile, kiss, her healing touch
Gone so quickly, it’s too much
Gleaming knives never looked so nice
All lined up and waiting to fight
Their heavy hilts weigh down his hand
His tears fill rivers all over the land
He hears her whispers in all the halls
Echoing off the great stone walls
King in his castle, too big for just one
Queen lost forever, eternally gone
The hawk flies in circles over the sun
Mourning the loss of such a beautiful one
Dots of blood line the marble floors
Writes on his arms behind closed doors
And he stepped on the shards of his broken glass heart
Bleeding and broken and only the start
He’s feeling the chill of the night again
Another lonely night without a friend
No one to keep him safe and warm
His world is empty, glass heart on the floor.
