Ripped

You ripped

the air from my lungs

And left me gasping

You Ripped

the heart from my body

And left me numb

You Ripped

the hope for my future

And left me stranded

You Ripped

a hole in the fabric

Holding together

my aspirations, my dreams

My vision of existence

Leaving me with shreds

That I’m desperately trying

To piece back together

Into some semblance

of a life.
