Your heart fell and shattered on the ground,
I walked away leaving you to mourn alone,
The world won't stop spinning around,
It won't let me catch up,
The world hates me now for the pain I gave,
So it simply took over,
Now I'm it's slave,
It allows no breaks or free time,
It won't let me shed a tear,
Death would be bliss,
Life is my biggest fear,
Now that I'm frozen in pain,
I can't seem to heal,
I can't reach happiness,
Because it isn't real,
It's just an illusion in my world,
It's just a cruel joke,
I look back on what I did,
The cruelty makes me choke,
No one should cry alone,
No one should be left behind,
But it's too late to fix it,
Time doesn't rewind.

The author's comments:
I've been hurt, I've also hurt others. This poem is about me having to live with the fact that I caused someone that kind of pain. I felt so guilty because I knew exactly how they felt. But I can't help them now, they'll have to realize they're their only hope at this point.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
