We have so much in this world
And yet we see only that which we lose
We only devote attention to emptiness
Where those people used to be within
Yet, they are gone from your heart
So that part of you freezes over
And if left to itself for too long
This ice spreads like a disease
Destroying all you hold dear
Capturing it as a single meager memory
One as fragile and beautiful as your life
Preserving them inside makes you cringe
You can't handle the truth of it all
That they never left you alone
You left them, for your own devices
And here you lie now, broken
A shattered mess of perfection
