russelprose in Poetry & Free Verse

Quiet night, broken heart

Deep sleep, so far away

Wide awake in a big city

Longing for that one touch

You left me scarred

Bruised and can't get up

You tore my heart to a million pieces

How am I supposed to fix it?

The way you handled it perfectly

Like a mother holding a child

So careful, so delicate and fragile

Then you let go, as if we never happened

Thanks to you I realize

That I can still feel something after that

I still have that pain to remind me

I'm still alive, breathing, but wounded
