I wake up this day to another wonderful morning The sky is so beautiful as the sun shines down it's rays, Bringing life to all nature, and warmth to our hearts Another day to live your life to the fullest Another precious day to be alive . But I can't feel this warmth, this light that I see When I look at the clear sky, it turns to gray And all life that I see is starting to crumble before me, Because it is the reflection of my Shattered Soul, A soul intertwined with unadulterated sadness, A sadness I must be. My Shattered Soul is what I see My heart has become shallower than the sea. I look on the ground and all I see Are the pieces of my soul, and what I used to be Broken pieces of a soul, Broken pieces of me. I gave away my love, and now it is gone I've cried my heart out all night long I didn't want to live anymore, I didn't want to breath My life means nothing without her on my arm and sleeve. You where my heart, you were my soul, But you left me and took it with you I trusted you to always keep them safe But they just weren't go enough for you I gave you all my love, and you gave me a Shattered Soul. You tried to destroy my soul, But all you did was Shatter it I look at our past and what we had And I start to realize something that you should already know That nothing will keep me down, And I will pick up the pieces off the floor, So my shattered soul will be shattered no more. And once again I will be whole I came in like a lamb, and I will rise again with a Lion's roar.
Reason for writing:
I wrote Shattered Soul after having my heart broken from a relationship. Writing about my feelings always helped me when I was down, so I chose to write about the pains I've felt, and the beginning of the recovery. This is actually the first part to my Heartbreak to Recovery Trilogy. If this poem is received well, I'll post the remaining two poems to complete the trilogy.
