Shattered

Her tears fall

Echoing the rhythm 

Of pelting rain 

Heartbeats against

A translucent pane

Blinding flashes of light

And thunderous cries

As the storm rages 

Deep within

A downpour of lies

She’s drowning 

Her mind 

A flood of memories

A lifeline

To remind her 

It is not as they say

She knows one thing

Her life will never be the same 

The window 

A scene

Of lost terrain

Cold, barren

Lifeless 

She remains

In dismay 

Dismantled so easily 

All those years, lost

She’s swept away

In waves of pain

A hearts deepest love

Shattered amid 

The broken pane

She peers into darkness

Then turns away

For she knows her tears

Will never stop the rain
