Shattered
uncertain am i
a fractured soul
once confident
now no longer whole
i still talk loud
and put on a show
i act the part
so people wont know
ashamed am i
of what i now am
an empty shell
my life a sham
my standards are lowered
my judgement impaired
my heart feels heavy
my pain is not shared
my trust destroyed
with tears on my sleeve
i forgive all
just so he wont leave
what coward am i
to endure this pain
in hope against hope
he wont do it again
how long this torture
before trust returns
or will i endure again
before my heart learns
a fractured soul
once confident
now no longer whole
i still talk loud
and put on a show
i act the part
so people wont know
ashamed am i
of what i now am
an empty shell
my life a sham
my standards are lowered
my judgement impaired
my heart feels heavy
my pain is not shared
my trust destroyed
with tears on my sleeve
i forgive all
just so he wont leave
what coward am i
to endure this pain
in hope against hope
he wont do it again
how long this torture
before trust returns
or will i endure again
before my heart learns
