Left For the Shadow

Please tear my heart
Into tiny pieces
Rip it to shreds
So there’s no hope of repair

Melt down my soul
Into bits of metal
Cold and leaden
So there’s no chance of rebirth

Breakdown my trust
Into tarry rubble
Blackened and thick
So there’s no hope that remains

For if my love
Is left for the shadow
I ask you this
Leave nothing to recover

  1. A powerful piece of longing for the light and despair of ever reaching it. The shredded heart and melted soul conjure dark images past the point of no return. Even from the deepest pit there is a path. Sometimes the only way out ... is through.

    1. Thank you as always for your thoughtful comments and wonderful support. I fear this pit might be a bit too deep this time. Maybe tomorrow I'll think differently.
