Shards and Stones

I am an empty soul

that rots down below

No chance they gave me

and no one to save me

I wanted more

but I soon saw

that all this pain

is mine to gain

I spent a lifetime in tears

and beyond that, in fear

All I craved for was touch

but even that proved, too much

I took each broken shard

of other peoples hearts

and glued them all together

to shelter them from the weather

Each stone they threw

tore me into

many bitter lies

and my loves demise
