Broken

The lingering clouds hold me close
The simmering tears pull me apart

The thought of your light gone forever
Sways me in the soft breeze

My knees buckle before me, as my arms (indecision marred)
Fail in their attempts to console me

I fall against the wall of a building I no longer recognize,
The world is still for a while

The thunder signals the downpour,
The silent scream reverberates across it all

Lightning strikes
All of life is in pieces, shreds, all equal broken parts

I do not feel the rain
The soft breeze now a calm wind licks at my tears

Forever passes

Each and every breath after is my last
Wet and weary and torn apart
I am but remnants of a broken heart.
