Shards

by Jenni Marie   Dec 31, 2011


Broken,
in Two.

So cliche, so overdone
and yet...

That's what it feels like.

Deliberately crushed my dreams
intentionally caused all of this pain
now, I finally know
that I always loved you,

more than you ever loved me.

Such bright dreams turned to dust
our love collapsed, a tumbling avalanche
and still, you're unaware
of the damage left in your wake,
of the crippling, mind numbing pain

You caused.

Two pulsating hearts once joined
slowly draped around each other
squeezing
choking
destroying

until only one remained
While the other
shattered

into a million tiny shards.

Hope dashed,
broken.

Now there's far to many pieces
no amount of glue can repair
it's forever destined
to stay cracked,
shattered,

alone.

Yes, now I know it's true,
I always loved you.

More than you ever loved me.

    This is such a powerful write and I was hit each time with that sadness and tragic truth that you love this man more than he could have ever loved. The imagery and words were so well-picked, they just speak on their own! Well worth the read- I enjoyed each line, it had a good flow and very depressing effect.
    Thanks for sharing :)

    Love this opening Jenni. You took such cliche words and turned them inside out just by inserting "That's what it feels like."

    Two pulsating hearts once joined
    slowly draped around each other
    squeezing
    choking
    destroying

    I could feel the smothering effect in this part. The imagery was very sad.

    Yes, now I know it's true,
    I always loved you.

    More than you ever loved me.

    Such a devastating term to come to when you realize you have given so much and the love you gave was not returned in the same way.

    This write drips with sadness and is one I know many will relate too.

    Touching read darlin !
