1d
This world has broken me.
My heart has shattered,
Thrown down by
Neglect.
My soul has become
Ash,
Burned by the lies.

My empty shell now searches for life;
Someone who can piece together the
Shards
That cut when people get too close.
Ashes,
that sting
When blown the wrong way.
Who can erase scars
That everyone avoids,
Like they believe I’d given them to myself,
(Even if some I did)
And I’ll do the same to them.

But then again,
Who wants ugly?
Especially when
Thousands
Shine brighter.

So why?
Might I ask,
Would you choose the burden of holding me together,
Your light warding off
The pain
Scars leave behind.
Your gentle nature
Repairing the shards that are
My heart.
And though no one can unburn
What now floats away,
You gave me a soul-
One that only longs
For You.
(Hallelujah, is now the song I sing.)
