Shattered

Bleeding from the inside Like an orchid That's been shot through its core Abused, shed from its roots The only thing holding it together Leaving it vulnerable Its color drains Creating a river of emptiness, regret The gray petals crash onto the ground Making it irreparable The silence overwhelms me. Emptiness closes in The claustrophobic feeling building up Like being thrown into a padded room I am a mannequin Frozen in time Cemented to the past, Lay me down to sleep Take me under I'd rather live an imaginary life Then live the gut-wrenching reality Losing you.
