I lie curled up in a ball
Exhausted from giving my all
Feeling a sense of release
My body relaxes in peace

My muscles are no longer tense
From life’s recent events
My mind is now at ease
There is no one here to tease

My emotions have been spent
Since my heart was bent
Now the healing begins
And my face wears a grin

I sleep throughout the night
No longer filled with fright
The hours gently pass
As quietly as Sunday Mass

My lips say a prayer
As often as I dare
Begging of the Son
To make the pieces one

They were scattered about
As I let out a shout
Reeling from the pain
Of regret's awful strain

I feel it no more
Its weight I bore
I now can see
It wasn’t all me

You played a part
In destroying my heart
Tangled up in lies
Trying to disguise

I was never fooled
Our love slowly cooled
Until none was left
Leaving me bereft

I gave my all
In spite of it all
To no avail
Deceit prevails

Time for the past
To be buried at last
I move into the sun
My mourning is done

A new day dawns
I’m not your pawn
I live for only me
In sweet tranquility

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This was really... somewhere in the middle of disturbing, sad, and lovely all at the same time.
