Shatter

Shatter

To hear your words, and take them as law
I fear I would one day hear them; just the thought
My heart crumbles at the sound of these things
My love burns into me like acid, cuts me like glass
To know that I am no longer wanted
My words, my questions, my pleas and my cries turn to wind
With no tone, no sound, only felt and not given any mind
These burning fragments, shattered and torn, still so precious
Even thought I could only piece together the memory
And never know or feel it again in its entirety
