Inside These Walls

I'm broken in pieces,
But no one sees.
I'm left in the dark,
The cold part of your heart.
It's small and hard,
And there's no air for me to breathe.
You can hear me jingle,
When you walk.
A small, slight sound,
So faint it's a whisper.
But he continues everyday,
Ignoring these pieces of me completely.
Even when he sleeps,
And the only sound is his heart beating,
I still feel these aches,
The cracks in my bones,
The emptiness inside,
The knowledge I do not wish to own anymore,
And the pain that comes with it,
Following me everywhere I go.
Forever I know I'll love him,
In these few small moments,
But he is blind to everything I am,
And he will never feel the same as I do.
I can't stay with him forever,
So I push against these walls that hold me,
The binds that keep me,
Until I hear him screaming my name,
And his heart breaking under my touch.
And as I see the light,
I gather myself together,
And tie everything in place,
Before I step from his broken heart,
The heart that once beat,
And into the life I've wanted for so long.
