Poetry: Shattered

by Stephanie Monroy

Created on: June 01, 2011

When the phone rings, she sill jumps hoping t will be him

She waits for the phone call that will never come

Just to hear his voice, once more

She closes her eyes and imagines his soft lips touching the receiver

She can still feel what loving him did to her

It made her feel alive, he was the fuel that kept her going

When he loved her, she was happy, he was her world

Why did he come into her world, give her this beautiful feeling

If he knew that he would take it away?

Did he want to brake her, steal like an evil villain

The light, the fragile piece of hope that lay within her

He knew that her heart had been made of gold, it called out to him

Like a greedy collector he longed to posses it

He swept in like a Greek god, and romanced her with his eyes and promises

When he had her in his grasp, when she had surrendered herself to his will

He tore out her soul, and left her there in tears to die alone

She looked up at the stars , as the last few breaths escaped her cold dying body

She whispered into the wind

"Take me with you, don't let me die alone"

So another star was born, her heart was shattered, and her soul was lost

But she would never be alone
