Shattered

What I let go to try and protect an already broken heart

My heart and broken emotions lie shattered at my feet, and not
lightly I tread upon them as I slowly ascend in my retreat

Back into the darkness that I clutch at as I roam
This cold embrace of emptiness
The closest thing to call home

The place that I may run to when I'm scared and don't understand
Why can't I just cut myself open and lie in the palm of your hand

Love is the thing of tales, But deeply it has been embedded in me
But fear is the conquer of all when I cannot clearly see

So instead I hold in the palm of my hand all the essence that is me
My Heart
My Love
My You
To drop and SHATTER at my feet
