Broken
Here
Alone
Encased in deafing silence
This
Creeping
Erosion of my mind
Devouring precious time
Shrieking monster
That no one hears
Empowers these invasive fears
Strikes me down
Into floods of shattered tears
As my light fades away
A Deepening darkness consumes
every second
Of every day
An Insignificant piece
That was left behind
A mere fraction
Of a life
That once shined
Return to me
My beating heart
Whole and healed
No broken part
