Cold and Dark

Nothing left inside my heart,
But a lonely place, cold and dark.
Only one had dared to see,
But I coldly pushed him away from me.
Too scared to lend my fragile heart,
I kept it from him, far apart.

Afraid they’d crush it in their fist
And pour it out into the mist,
I couldn’t trust the ones I love,
Even this one, sent from above.
I only wish I knew back then
The only cure for this was him.

Now it’s his heart that’s been crushed,
Broken and lying in the dust.
Trying to keep from the pain within,
I caused even more destruction to him.
Watching the pain build in his eyes,
I saw the victim of my demise.

I die inside watching him
As he tries to rebuild what I killed within.
Piecing together, though dim light,
Through trembling hands and tear-filled sight,
What’s left of his once-pure heart,
Now empty and lonely, cold and dark.
