Love Poem: My Shattered Heart

My Shattered Heart

I am shaken
        shattered, crushed, lost and forsaken;
      within the shadow of a broken heart
        I don't know where to start;
  to pick up the pieces and put them together,
  the pieces at my feet will be ruined ever;
     I hold this grief like a treasure;
              within a soul broken.

              I come a lot
        with wilted roses I have bought.
      Within the shadow of a broken heart
        my future bleak and dark.
  I speak so softly my love that I must leave you,
  to your engraved name I whisper my weeping adieu;
     farewell sweet prince-  adieu, adieu,
              I leave you my tear drop.

              I must find blue
        skies and nature in shades and hue;
      within the shadow of a broken heart.
        Oh, this lost love always a part;
  I will take you with me on my twisted journey,
  knowing the path will often be wild and thorny;
     for I still have to live my story,
              though to Heaven you flew.
