Anatomy of a broken heart
Too wrong to keep
Throw it on the floor
With the tattered ledgers of
Hope and loyalty
Giving and trust
Each page ripped one by one
And scorned
Spurned
Scattered to the corners
Of the chambers of my heart
Messages of love
Now ring hollow
The wishes for many more years
Slide through the
Sieve of my mind
So many grains
So many wishes
Filling the cup
That never runneth over
That instead is leaky
The grains scattered and
Are scavenged in the night
Until there is nothing left
But a stifled scream
At the end of the line
You just severed
With your cowardly call
And the easy way
While I take ten
The hard way
Hammer blows to my
Guts and heart
While the mind
Shuts itself in a little box
So I can do as I must
So I can survive
To hurt another day
To hide behind the new
Fortress with
Your name on the cornerstone
And my blood
In the foundation
And my head
In the window
Wondering
How long a
Life is
When you are
All alone in a
Sea of mates
And a
Nightmare
Mind
At the helm
