Dead Inside

bruised and bloodied
i walk alone
with my sword
attached to my back
it’s stained with blood
and mixed with tears

the same sword you pierced me with
shattering me into a thousand pieces
and never bothering
to explain or

glue me back to
what i knew as perfection

you tore me
shattered me
bruised me
fucked me over
again and again
until there was nothing
left to tear or shatter or bruise
i was dead–
inside and out
and dead i will
forever remain
