At times I don't even know where I'm supposed to be going
I'm stuck inside a room, looking from a window to where I've been
All these friends who promise to be there to support you
Suddenly, they'll always go vanishing with the wind
When you have nothing to lose, and still expect to lose
Who do you look to, then?
When everybody treats you like you're nothing
Who can you really call a friend?
Late night stressing, overthinking and I'm guessing
Can happiness ever last?
Because there are days when it's really here
But always remains inside the past
You know, I've given it everything I got
But I always seem to fall and crash
If life really gives you free lessons
Then I'm failing this class
Can I ask for a chance to start again?
I've been gradually losing this sight again
Been running close on empty
I don't think I can ever start this drive again
It's hard to achieve something, where no one sees you succeed
I sever ties with the closest ones who never believed in me
I've been broken down to pieces over a silly dream, it seems
I love the fact, how my heart was ripped out for believing in me
From the start, it was just myself and all the places I've been

You once asked me how I felt about you, and I answered
"I love you, and I always will."
Now as I lay in my misery, plagued by nightmares and haunted by the smell of your perfume. I pour another shot to take the pain away, and repeat those same words to the spiders in my dark, lonely, room.
"I love you, and I always will."

I left my heart of glass in your hands,
trusting you would keep it safe.

You dropped it on purpose.

I'm now picking up the broken pieces,
cutting myself on some.

The best memories have the sharpest edges.

But I'll glue it back into one piece
with my bruised hands.

The cracks will only show how much I once loved.

We'll both fall apart
If we try putting each other back together.
Our pieces are limited
And once we start to lose them,
We can build only with what we have.

I’m no engineer, not a mechanic, not even a technician,
How do I mend these broken pieces?
There’s no ******* program to re-run this malfunctioning heart
That I can’t even shape and mold back
There is no elixir, no spell, no band aid, no shortcut, no hint, no time span,
To tell when this pain will go away, it stays every day, reminding me that I’m alive,
Bending, writhing as I try to take it away myself, if only I knew love would be this painful,
I could have decided never to have loved anyone as much as I could because there’s nothing left of me
That I can hold on to,
These ruins I call a heart
No architect could even muster, one an artist could never admire,
But one only a writer could appreciate and write about,
There is no escape from this breaking reality,
It’s been so dark, and the only light I’ve seen has perished with the soul that was once brought to life,
What more is there that I can grasp that could fill the voids of this vacuum I call a heart?
My fingers try to run through and feel in this decaying, eroding temple,
Where these thoughts on paper find home,
A sanctuary of a train of thoughts that never stop for a soul,
These feet can’t support all the agony, unlike my shoulders that carry the weight of the universe on each,
Yet this intellect I have, only could explain these ink jots on paper,
Words I could never speak, only numbing my mouth, I silently utter,
Finger tips reach out to thy but there’s no saving me,
Of what sight you can see is all that remains of me,
The insides of this wall of flesh is dead, I’ve been trapped in this bed

Like glass that shatters
with a high, shrill voice
words
splinter my feelings
they fall
as shards of mirror
left for me
to see myself
broken and fragmented

I try to pick them up
they pierce and cut
I let them lie
awhile
and
finally sweep them aside
placing them
with all the other pieces
of myself
I no longer wish to see.

How soon
will that be
all
that's left
?

I swear I was doing okay.
I was doing so much better.
I made a lot of progress.
I was almost happy.

I don't know what happened,
But something went wrong
Everything came crashing down,
And now I find myself gasping for breath

And I wish I knew when it had happened
But I stared losing my mind again
I'm falling apart and losing pieces of myself
And I don't know if I can find the pieces and put them back together again.
Just a quick poem.  Have a nice night, or a nice day, whenever you're reading this.  Much love, Avery.

Every time somebody invades into my life
They eventually become a piece of me
They grow inside me
having quite a nice time.
But when they leave
they take away a piece of me
which I never get back!

By now I have lot of missing pieces
wondering where it would be...
seeking my missing pieces
in and around...
But I found none..
Finally I'm left with nothing
except empty pieces of mine..
I'm inspired from The missing piece poem of
Shel Silverstein. It brings me joy as well as pain in my life...

Sometimes I see and feel
a whole poem
in my mind
all at one time

like a painting
a landscape of alluring
colors
and
form
a star-filled ebony sky
a perfectly formed blossom

or a spectacular instant

a burst of lightning
vehement rumbling of thunder
the fleeting glimpse of a rainbow

a moment of inexpressible
joy and love...

a child's delighted laughter
a new mother's glow
white-haired lovers walking
hand-in-hand

but...

I can't seem to take it apart
and name the pieces.

The fragments are dandelion seeds
blown to the wind
once scattered
not retrievable.

But the feeling they present
as they float freely about
is worth letting them go.

If Mirror were to reflect minds, it would have shattered in pieces.... To reflect it perfectly .... in details.
