The Silent Cry Poetry Collection

Ode to a Broken Heart

Dear God, I'm falling apart,

The cracks are forming in my heart.

Take my soul and lay it bare,

I'm forgetting what it's like to care.

The roses are wilting all around,

And creeping closer is the hellhound,

Ready to offer salvation or a curse,

Either way, couldn't be any worse.

Oh God, it hurts inside,

Pulsing through me like the constant tide.

My shattered heart is in pieces somewhere,

How I wish this was all a nightmare.

The food it tastes like dust,

And the blood turns to rust.

The memories assault my poor being,

Refusing to let me begin healing.

Dear God what should I do?

This pain never befell you.

Will you save me from this ache,

Which ignites each time I wake?

The sandman no longer arrives,

And all I'm doing is trying to survive.

Watch the tears stream down my face,

Glistening like the stars in space.

I'm sorry God, you're too late.
