Poem: Shattered
My mind slows to a crawl
I rely on you to calm my nerves
I awaken and wonder where you've gone
My mind races back to the night before
My body is parched, yet a force stirs within
I move away from the night and memories of you
I live another day and wonder how
My body thirsts for your calmness
My soul needs this game you and I play
I wonder when enough is enough
I live each day wondering about the next
My soul shatters, my hands cradle the pieces
