Ash After The Fire

What is the heart to the heart-broken?

Does it scar and fade

Simply go away

Or does the heart remain ripped open?

Where these eyes cannot see

Does the heart remain to be

A victim of love's token?

Does it bleed your warmth still

Have you lost all will

To live a life devoid of desire?

Do you find it hard to breathe

Do you silently seethe

Feeling like ash after the fire?

Do you sit on the floor

Not wanting anything more

Because nothing really matters

There is no one to gather the parts

Piece together your heart

From when it shattered
