Shattered Pieces by Sandra Flood

The shattered pieces pressed deep
So hard against her chest
She fell to the ground
In eloquent pain
Waiting for him at rest
Her thoughts were truthful
But her soul refused to listen
The ice from his heart
So jagged and cold it glistened
Naive and ignorant
Never would she let go
Gasping for one last breath
Grasping the rhythm of her death
She looked into his eyes
She knew this was the last time
She heard the sound of her tears breaking
She could feel her insides caving
Every inch of her body aching
What's the use of waiting
She asked herself over and over again
"Will this ever end? Will I ever love again?"
Will her heart stop bleeding?
Or just stop beating
With that last thought
Her mind began to calm
She told herself
"He made this happen, he made me fall"
No longer will she dwell
On what he put her through
Rather, she'll get even
She'll make him feel it too
He will hurt, he will cry
He will suffer, he will die
She will kill him internally
Until he can not take it anymore
Revenge is the worst payment of pain
But this is what he has earned it for
Uneasy feelings cause her to shake
"He does deserve this" she tells herself
But does she have it left in her
Does she have the pain to give?
After taking it so deep inside
She feels it's useless for her to live
But she finds this the best revenge of all
She knows he will be crushed
Finding what he has done
"Love will conquer all obstacles and
Tragedies along the way"
She recites with a smile on her face
"But lust is just tragic fun"
Like pulling the trigger on a dead gun
It's a waste
And he was her mistake
A mistake she's made for the last time
So she loads up that gun
"This wasn't lust baby, this was true love"
Beginning to cry she says her last words
"But I have found something to get in the way"
She called it 'suicide'
As she put the weapon to her brain
And a stop to the pain
He will never hurt her again...
