In a Thousand Years

Tear drops shatter-

like broken shards of glass.

My heart ceases to beat-

beneath the misery.

The somber raven-

pecks at my soul.

My very core-

is numb with your lies.

The charred embers-

of all the we were.

In a thousand years-

my apocalyptic sun won’t matter.

In a thousand years-

we won’t even be a memory.

In a thousand years-

your betrayal won’t sting.

In a thousand years-

I will finally be free.
