Slowly

As you watch it

Your heart breaks

As he drops it

Your breath catches

Heartbreak snatches

What you thought

You once had.

Barely crying

Slowly dying

Now unable to

Comprehend

What you knew

Was coming yet you

Ignored what would be

The end.

So the darkness

It begins

From your soul

From within

To a bleak and dire outside

To the madness

You now live in.

Ever hoping

That the pain

Will stop; let you

Love again

Needing reason

To wake up

From this bed

Already lain.
