Fragments of a broken mirror
Scattered far, I will never fully be found
It is not just my heart that is breaking
Every part of me in pieces on the ground

Reality crashes on my shoulders
I cannot escape the massive weight
The final collapse was inevitable
Difficult to accept my fate

My love strewn, little shards my arms
Unprepared for my feelings to fall apart
I'm not sure how much of me is left
All I know is throbbing emptiness tugging my sore heart

Have been watching cracks deepen for a long time
Felt each tragedy spiderwebbing through me
Sorrow working grooves over the years
Pain has finally shattered me completely
Finally starting to  catch up to posting all the poems ive written... i am impressed with how many I have!

I want you to live, why don't you?
Set in self-destructive ways,
Wish I had the power to help you heal,
You are so gone you don't want to be saved.
Sigh...

You hurt me so much
I truly thought love and pain
Were one and the same
Amanda Kay Burke Jul 2018
Knew you had walls guarding your heart
Uncomfortable with the way you look
Girls left you feeling broken, empty,
You try to replace pieces they took.

Flatlined and abandoned
Questions where confidence should be
Gave all my love to you
In return got disloyalty.

Another person to hurt, betray
I never was important to you
Mental acrobatics performed in my mind
The intense thoughts weren't in yours too.

I told you to be yourself
Had already lost who that was
Held by insecurities
Instead of me chased a buzz

You said I meant everything to you, the world and more
If that's true why do you treat me like I'm simply yet another score?
Because I am

Addicted to everything you are
Going crazy without you here
Think I'm starting to go through withdrawals
I would give anything to have you near

Sometimes hear voices in my head
Well, scratch the s, only one
Your voice, repeating things you've said
Scared that I'm coming undone

Talk to my reflection and say
The things I want to say to you
I never will, I'm too afraid
You don't feel the same way I do

I spend nights crying my brain to sleep
Because I own no hand to hold
Don't know how to stop the tears
I shake even though not cold

Can't focus on anything
Your face always on my mind
Keep thinking about what I would do
If I could jump back in time amd rewind.

I yearn to feel your touch again
My heart broken and scarred
Everything hurts, morning air stings
Sobriety has never been so hard
Some substances are more powerful than drugs

Who have you changed into?
Where is the guy I knew?
What have you done with my friend?
All I know, he can't be you.
Drugs change people

Feel the sting every morning
When I wake and check my phone
I see that you still havent called and I
Realize I'm really alone

I am wasting my energy
You obviously do not care
Giving all my love to you
You haven't got any to spare

You are too busy to talk to me
Can't even give a quick reply
Know you have your own life now
It isn't that hard to try

Asked me to change and I will
Would do anything for you
How long do I have to wait?
Tired of being broken in two

Nothing can stop or numb pain
Not THC, music, or alcohol
None of it works, always hurts
I smash my fist into the wall

Need you to take it all away
The heartache and memories
Emotions so overwhelming
Bring me to wounded knees

Are you going to take me back?
Wonder why I'm still holding on
Wish you would give me answers
Am I too late? Are you already gone?
Already gone...
