Shattered

My dreams shattered in the tense stillness as endless threats and blows clothe my form My stomach flutters in familiar fear and I am ashamed of my weakness My hope lies shattered in madness cloaking my tender heart in bruises as I choke on the bitterness of your deceit Now I lie still, sedated by my sorrow My spirit shattered with loneliness when our love was forgotten my companionship no longer wanted and my wants and thoughts now worthless Seeing this reality as I suffer silently unable to accept our demise My dreams shattered in the distance of my most gentle memories Hatred distorts your face and I cower from the ugliness of your intent and the horror of this truth Our love shattered, built upon lies As my heart plummets over the cliff as my mind hides, seeking oblivion death warms my icy blood My spirit, too, is shattered by you For you know not truth, know not kindness Lies abound, and rage heats your blood Leaving me in its wake Shattered
