Take my Sheath

Wednesday, Jan 6, 2010

My heart is shattered

a million pieces gone.

It's like leaves

raken' and in the trash.

This sadness is like a balloon

taken from a child.

A heartless torment,

shattered glass.

A love that I thought

would last a long time.

Never something that

was meant to be taken apart.

A dream in my head

that was never quite the same.

Now that he has left.

My heart's gone again.

O happy dagger,

i am your sheath.

Take all of me,

Lock away the key!

I want it to be better,

but it cannot be so.

My knives have be drenched,

and my life is a stone.

How much I long for the dream I once had.

A family of beauty and my prince, armour clad.

You've done a grand job putting your thoughts into such a sad piece. I really like how you brought in the Shakespearean tragedy element into this piece, making it even more heartfelt.

Sending positive thoughts your way,
