Slowly breaking

My heart was slowly breaking.
Now it's on the floor.
All the shards,
Sharp as glass.
They are all around me.
Keeping me in.
I can't escape.
Even the tears flowing down my cheeks
Can't wash them away.
My broken heart has trapped me.
The only ways left to survive,
Are to try to be happy even when I am not.
And to try to forget the pain those words did to my heart.
