Stained Glass Heart

I lay here in these shambles

an arm's reach from the door

laying in the jagged pieces of my heart

broken stained glass upon the floor

 

reflections of red speckles

shimmer on the wall

and I breathe a darken breath

as I grasp the taken fall

 

I wait for the darkness to come

to hide this shattered heart

to take away the dancing red

for night to play it's part

 

And if you come back

by morning's light

to perhaps repent

 

You will find not a trace of me

no lovely moments spent

 

Nor will you find my shattered heart

none of the pain that you had sent

 

But, if you are so foolish

to find your way here at night

I will be waiting for you

With a venomous bite

 

I will take away your sun

Take that beaconing light

I will steal your heartbeat

and replace it with insight

 

The darkness it would like you

embracing that shallow heart.....
