My dreams shattered in the tense stillness <br />as endless threats and blows clothe my form <br />My stomach flutters in familiar fear <br />and I am ashamed of my weakness <br />My hope lies shattered in madness <br />cloaking my tender heart in bruises <br />as I choke on the bitterness of your deceit <br />Now I lie still, sedated by my sorrow <br />My spirit shattered with loneliness <br />when our love was forgotten <br />my companionship no longer wanted <br />and my wants and thoughts now worthless <br />Seeing this reality as I suffer silently <br />unable to accept our demise <br />My dreams shattered in the distance <br />of my most gentle memories <br />Hatred distorts your face and I cower <br />from the ugliness of your intent <br />and the horror of this truth <br />Our love shattered, built upon lies <br />As my heart plummets over the cliff <br />as my mind hides, seeking oblivion <br />death warms my icy blood <br />My spirit, too, is shattered by you <br />For you know not truth, know not kindness <br />Lies abound, and rage heats your blood <br />Leaving me in its wake <br />Shattered<br /><br />Angela Davis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shattered/
