Broken Shell

A Poem

Thru tears of blood, I cry.

As the blade extends

From my wrists to my heart,

As I carve it to pieces

You merely watch me bleed...

No matter how I try.

I can not make amends.

And we continue to be apart...

left with scars and bruises

Suffering from my hunger...

I'm just a broken shell

Suffering in this hell

Wishing for your love

on the stars above

Wont you save me

Heed my plea...

Which is worst, to be let go.

Or to be the one who walks away?

Sometimes it's the hardest to leave.

But when things cant be worked out,

It may be best...

Will you ever know?

How much I wanted to stay

But you just couldn't believe.

And now here we are without,

A love that failed the test...

I'm just a broken shell

Suffering in this hell

Wishing for your love

on the stars above

Wont you save me

Heed my plea...

So I'm left with my tears

and my blade in hand

Cutting deep thru my soul

tearing my heart to shreds

abandoning me, leaving me empty inside...

I'm left only with my unreasonable fears

This wasn't what I had planned.

I didn't want to play the fool.

With all the precious blood, I've bled.

I sincerely wish I would have died...

I'm just a broken shell

Suffering in this hell

Wishing for your love

on the stars above

Wont you save me

Heed my plea...
