Protecting the Leftover Innocence
A poem about the agony of lost love
Flying high I shouted your name
Only to hear the deafening silence
Hope leaking from my heart
Did you have to stomp that hard?
I was your blanket in the winter shiver
Why did you let my love wither?
In despair and darkness, life lies
Why won’t this time fly?
Heart aches as a mirror would upon shattering
Was I this fragile to allow this thrashing?
This sadness sits at the bottom of the bottle
Why did you take apart my mind only to remodel?
Securing my broken heart in a chest
To bury so deep
Never to be found
Away from the hurt love brings
Protecting the leftover innocence
Of a hopeless romantic
