Broken Hearts & Lullabies

by LifesALovePoem

Shattered, hanging by a string, my heart rests in two almost perfectly split pieces. It just doesn't feel right, so tears keep falling to release the pain you've put on me. Did you intend to do this, break my soul and sanity?

I'll just keep crying, even when the tears are gone and there's no reason.

I'll just keep singing, until my voice has gone, and there's just no reason.

Broken hearts and lullabies, wishes and shattered dreams. They fill my diminishing sleep. My scared attempts to tell you I'll be okay are twisted by fear, regretting to be released. Here comes another shock, shaking my pride.

I'll keep dreaming, even if my imagination is dry, and there's no reason.

I'll keep thinking of you, even if the memories are faded, and there's just no reason.

Who knew you could create such a high wall of security, then leave it crumbling at my feet? You kicked and screamed until all that was left of my heart was dust. Pictures of us burn, flames licking my numbed fingertips. I'm through waiting, but not done dreaming.

I'll keep singing lullabies, until my ambition is gone, and there's just no reason.
