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.....
