the smile left your eyes
leaving only pain behind
shattered to pieces--your soul
razor-sharp glass shards on the ground
shackled in chains--your love
steel rattling and screeching along the asphalt
still, you pled
still, you begged
your cries bounced around my skull
if only I’d known...
I’d be the one soaking my pillow at night
