Today my heart broke
It splintered into a million pieces

I hold in my arms 
The innocence lost

I mourn all that you could have been 
All that you will not be

For today, you live in my heart
In the depths of my soul

Only yesterday, I walked with happiness and joy
Today, it was all taken in an instant

I sit in total silence 
In my room, with memories of you

I felt you, in my heart 
Only in there will you live forever

Time will heal this pain 
With each moment it eases

Over time, you become a memory
A glimpse into my past

Your love, your heart beat
However brief, lives in me

Tomorrow I will pick up the pieces
My heart will mend

It will be whole again 
All but the one piece that is missing

The innocence lost 
It lives within me

*I WROTE THIS ON SEPTEMBER 11.*

*FOR THE PAIN AND THE LOSS I FELT THAT DAY*
