By Elizabeth Hammer

oh this time it destroyed me, my dear.

my heart has been lit on fire since you left

out of fear.

i can not say this enough,

how much i would have loved

you and all of your shiny broken pieces.

i have never felt this way,

i just wanted you to stay,

i thought you felt the same,

but in the end there was only pain.

this light shines on my soul now,

i am devoted on taking this vow,

of self love and true kindness.

the shutters are closing,

i am now re-focusing,

and if i have the chance to say to your face,

my heart will hold yours in a very special

place,

and i can not lie,

i wanted to die,

as my pain just increases.

but oh how much i would have loved

you and all of your shiny broken pieces.
