A Tattered Heart and Longing Soul

I see images of you flashing in my mind

pictures my heart holds on to

so one day I will find you

with all the hate I face every day

from someone who has promised love

a broken heart and broken skin are what I have to show

I keep moving, holding on to what I have of you

just an image my mind has made of you

a reality I dream

a love I crave

your touch

I want to feel your embrace

I just hope I am not too damaged for you

so much pain has been put on me

I have bled for love before

sustaining toxic cruelty

psychotic rage driven abuse

there's a lot of anger and sorrow in my heart

a lot of fight left in me

I endure silent tragedy

being in this love

separated by doubt and misery

I am all I physically have

my illusions are my own

I hope I find you before it's too late
