Shatter

Surrender to this

You said

As I stood guarded

With rifles cocked

While your seduction

Began to play hide and seek

With the hidden vulnerabilities

Held inside my heart

Here you said

Is a void you can fall into

Which is full of love

And I will be waiting

For the rest of time

To catch you

So just trust

That if you drop

Your heart will not shatter

And yet here I am

Still picking glass splinters out of my heart

From the last time love broke me

How can I ever fully trust

In this surrender

Doubting Thomas asks

From deep within

When before

Empty promises

Ended with my heart

Splintered like glass

In the painful aftermath

Of similar promises

Forsaken

Leaving me

Shattered
