Smashed [rictameter]

by Kait   Oct 20, 2008


Broken
Smashed to pieces
Left to remember you
Alive, but so very dead inside.
You never cared and it was all a lie
There had never been love between us
Around only to hurt me
Leave here, my heart.
Broken

    This is really good, but in line 7 you have 7 syllables instead of 6. I'll still give you a 5/5 since it was very good otherwise, but you should fix that. Great writing though! :)
