My Heart Shattered

You burn these bridges
I just watch them fall
I can't help laughing
That none answer this call

I'm lost and defeated
Shattered into pieces
Laughter turns to crying
As the hurt increases

The love has dissipated
It's irreversibly damaged
My allegiance is to no one
You left me feeling famished

Deprivation takes its toll
While I try to numb this ache
Infused with toxic liquids
All the pain I cannot take

The transformation complete
From a butterfly to an empty shell
I contemplate my existence
As I fall into these depths I dwell


Author notes

I'm hurt bad but pain is usually temporary so hopefully this will not last....
With my luck it will come back to haunt me over and over again though

Give me reason to cling to life and not beg for death

    sorry, i know it sucks to feel this, and thankfully pains temporary, seems endless for me, but eh.. some of us have more positivity i spose. Anyhow, this was an excellent expression of pain, beautifully expressed.

    I completely understand- not like that helps i actually feel the same way right now. Tonight i was going through my old poems and sent one to a friend of mine and think you should read it as well its called Butterfly... I sent it to my old teacher Abby Rike... google her and read her story I think everyone will gain alot from it. Good write though I think the first stanza is my favorite. And the line in the second where laughter turns to crying. Im at that point right now

    Hearfelt write which expresses how pain can transform us from
    "butterfly to empty shell." Pain is a force to be recogned with, sometimes it is a battle which seems to not be able to be won! There are moments in life where we are burned by pain and reduced to ashes. I feel your pain.

    Hey! I really like this poem. It flows and rhymes perfectly. I can almost feel your pain just from the way it's written and the vocabulary used. It really breaks my heart that you feel like that though In your Author Notes you say you want a "reason to cling to life and not beg for death".
    Hope.
    That's the only reason I can give you. Hope that things will get better with time. Hope that your heart can heal just like a cut on your skin. That's why I cling to life even if everything seems pointless and messed up. Hope.
    Anyways another great poem from bestest AP buddy!
