My heart has shattered
inside my ribs

I am no healer
and can only endure
Yet the pieces sink through
into my lungs,
expunging all my breath

With each exhale I shed
pain I don't care for anymore
Trying to transpose
the last thoughts of a person
I can't live without

Externally my shield holds
against an artificial cities life
I keep my distance from
Yet inside my chest
I cannot defend against
this displacement
A destination I transfix
into eternal memory

So many battles
and this, is how I am brought down
