Shards

Pieces of my shattered heart

scattered all around.

Who will go and pick them up,

lift them off the ground?

Will anybody dare to start?

Does anybody care?

Can anybody take the cup

at which I simply stare?

I cannot muster any strength

to do this for myself,

I need another's help to take

me off from on my shelf.

Will someone go to any length

to help my heart be whole?

Can anybody make me wake

from deep within this hole?

…Or shall I simply sit and be

a doll, just here, eternally?
