Confusion of This Heart

Just trust issues darkened through my poetry..
Am I a shadow?
a reflection of nothing at all
do I look the same in your wandering eyes
if you cut me, I bleed
if you hit me I bruise
if you stab me in the heart, I would start to cry blood

Am I a whisper in the wind
a mere reflection of something dead
am I the one who begs and pleads
who screams and bleeds
snow lies in my path, cold dark and alone
my true reflection shall not be shown

You said you loved me, beyond compare
but now I don’t know if you are truly there
I’m left here to rot and decay
as my lifeless spirit drifts away
you said your heart was in my hands
but now all that’s left are bleeding scars

My life, so empty and never full
how can a heart like yours be so cruel?
I lay here dying, cutting, and bleeding
but all you care about is if your own heart is beating
I knew from the start you would tear me apart
but not till now have I realized
that all I have to offer are these bleeding stinging eyes

In a world so cruel, in a path with no rule
I am lost to your heart
but I do not know when it will all fall apart
do you truly love me? or do you love another?
will this ever be resolved so I can have my heart put back together
this life so cold and empty inside
for these empty tears I dare do hide
for I do not know if you are truly by my side.
