Broken Pieces

Broken heart,

Fell apart

Broke inside

From the end to the start

Why I do this to myself

I'll never know

Torture and torture

It's the only thing I know.

Self inflicted,

But help infected

The disease spread

Through undetected

A healthy lie,

The deathly tie

One last call

For my death to fall

Broken heart, shattered soul

Fell apart, fell whole

The broken pieces are broken

Not closed, but not open

Stayed where I am

Where blood takes my hand

Deeper and darker I return

Into the depths

Slowly giving up,

Just for me to burn

As it consumes

For once I may consent

It can take over,

As I descent

I am not decent.

Sitting back and letting the broken pieces stay

Shattered on the floor, to cut they

Anyone who tries to pick up will bleed

Drifting off to sleep

To be and stay broken

My life shall keep.
