Shattered

By Midnight Shadow

I look you in the eyes for the last time,
"Take my heart, I don't want it anymore"
With those words, I walk away,
Leaving you puzzled and alone.
You shattered it so many times,
It's finally unable to be repaired.
Lying in a broken heap in my soul,
You left it there when you were finished.
Jagged pieces of it lay everywhere,
Only to hurt someone I thought to love.
I don't like this broken feeling,
So I gave up the shards,
Which at one time were my heart.
Perhaps this is a decision I'll regret,
Trying to save the tattered edges of my soul.
I may now be heartless,
But my soul is still here.
I look at the empty space inside me,
And my eyes fill with tears...

    exhale other people and their grip on your life... inhale you... fill yourself with youness... discover yourself without love, or friends...

    not that love and friends aren't important... but they shouldn't destroy you, they should add to the glowing youness within. ::hug::
