How could you do that to me? I trusted you with so much. I now sit up at night and wonder what things would be like if I had never met you. Would things be different for me? I believe, that I would be someone completely different. I cannot go back in time, although I wish I could. You invaded my ***. Stole the kingdom that was unguarded at night. Those guards stay awake and paint pictures of you. Always pictures of you. Paintings of that night. I wake up and those paintings are still wet in my mind. Still wet and glossy, never dry. The guards in my mind, now stay awake in order to protect me from the haunting past and untold stories that will forever last. It feels like forever. Me trying to glue myself back together. I am finally together, but when I look in the mirror to only find that you can still see the rough cracks at every seam. I am still broken, even when I dream. My kingdom that was unguarded before, now has a guard at every door. The windows are now covered by curtains, in hopes of hiding my sad burdens. The mirrors are shattered and so is my heart. The kingdom that was once happy, is now casted in the dark. When I know go swimming, I sink to the ground, because of the depressional shackles on my ankles that keep my forever bound. My kingdom is now haunted, with only nightmares roaming the halls. The guards lonely paintings are now hung upon the walls. That mellow sound you hear, is my hurting heartbeat. Can you hear the small thump of pain in every beat? It sounds like a broken grandfather clock that is stuck in time. As it sits there broken striving to chime. The villagers that once sang in song, now stay in their beds wondering what went wrong. They longed for the happiness that filled the streets and hearts with joyous song.
