baby since you don't
love me anymore
I feel splinters of pain
in my heart's core
you went away leaving
an aching so deep
why couldn't you stay
close to my keep
the void of emptiness
brings no elation
only the essence
of soul deprivation
baby them splinters
ain't
too
good
baby them splinters
so
hurtful
of
wood
baby them splinters
mean
in
sting
baby them splinters
cruel
of
ping
you've gone and won't
ever be back
your love for me
but a destitute shack
The piece was inspired by a friend, she suggested that I write a poem about splinters...and this is what I came up with.
