Unspoken Words

by Shattered Glass   Apr 7, 2017


I'm staring at a glass half empty,
I'm drinking it down.
Flooding my memory,
I'm waiting to drown.

To drown my unspoken,
Like weights to my feet.
Pulling me down further,
I dare to admit my defeat.

My defeat of the forgotten,
The places I held dear.
Love hidden in little corners,
I used to never fear.

The fear of my own thoughts,
Filled with hemorrhaged dreams.
Patching together the nightmares,
Mirroring nothing through the seams.

The seams that held me together,
And the ones you ripped apart.
The loneliness that voided inside,
The hole you left in my heart.

My heart that was crushed,
By your hands that made me.
You once held me like gold,
You taught me to see.

To see the cracks in your smile,
And the resent softening through.
I heard your weapons coming,
But I wasn't strong enough to please you.

    I love the repetition between the stanzas' end and beginnings here; clever stuff.
    Very well written and rhymed throughout.

    All the best,
