Shattered

Silent whispers, broken vows, silent screams in the dark

I loved you with every breath in my lungs,

Every beat of this heart that now barely runs.

For years I gave you my soul, my everything,

Now I’m just broken, hollow, a ghost of what love used to be.

I saw you with him and my world crashed right before my eyes,

My chest caved in, I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think.

I remember a time when your smile was meant for me,

When your touch was sacred.

I came home bleeding from the knife in my chest,

Showed you the truth with tears in my eyes.

But you looked at me like I was insane,

Made my agony about your disdain.

That’s impossible, you said to me,

While my heart was dying, my love growing old.

You made me question my own two eyes,

While I was drowning in your beautiful lies.

God, I loved you… I loved you so,

Even as the shards of my broken soul show.

Can’t undo the past, can’t rewind, can’t erase,

Left with the ghost of your shadow’s trace.

Now I’m lost in the silence, trying to mend,

The pieces of what I loved, of what I pretend.

Shattered hope, fractured dreams, a love torn apart,

Yet still within, there’s a lonely, aching heart.
