Trembling lips

Shaking hands

a torn heart
That’s all you left me with


My knees hit the ground
My ribs feel as they are about to cave in.
My arms constrict around my body to keep from drifting away
That’s what you have left me with

A heart that will no longer beat
A mind that no longer thinks
A life that will never be lived
That is what you left me with

Tears that stain my face
Rage that stays buried deep within me
A love that has been ripped away from my very being
Hate that still lingers inside me
And hurt that is so plain to see
That is what you left me with.
