Fractured, splintered, shattered...
is a part of my soul
which at one time,
(since past),
used to glimmer, used to shine...
was once whole.
I glowed for you.
My heart filled with such love
it radiated light at the mere thought of you.
This heart you don’t want
was yours for the taking,
(you never had to ask).
But for far too long
you kindly rejected, dejected...denied me the same.
Running away,
returning once ‘safe’
when the embers have dimmed
and now burn low...
with the smoke, ash and soot
of dreams long ago.
Blackened illusions come clean
as I sadly accept defeat.
My eyes were not blind,
yet my heart persevered...
hoping you’d be mine
if I waited these long years.
But no.
(Oh no)...
It’s not to be.
My love... abandoned.
Bent to your will.
Dismantled, mishandled...buried alive still.
Now in a coffin at the depths of this soul
lies the dream of you,
(all potential eclipsed)...
and leaves me - ‘un-whole'.
