Shattered Pages

We wrote a book on midnight skies

Each chapter held your soft brown eyes

Now the ink has bled

The words erased

Our love

A story time displaced

Fingers traced the lines we drew

Now they crumble

Lost from view

Shattered pages on the floor

Can't rewrite us anymore

Every word was once a flame

Now the ashes spell your name

Shattered pages

Torn apart

The novel ends with a broken heart

We danced through storms

We laughed through rain

Each moment wrapped in joy and pain

But the binding snapped

The seams gave way

And every page has gone astray

You were my plot

My every twist

Now I’m lost in the emptiness

Shattered pages on the floor

Can't rewrite us anymore

Every word was once a flame

Now the ashes spell your name

Shattered pages

Torn apart

The novel ends with a broken heart
