Stolen. Taken. Gone

shattered heart; broken like glass before my feet,
shaking. scared of the life I was destined to live.

she was my world, she was my everything.
attached by an invisible rope we soared together.
superheroes of a new fantasy
inseparable. unstoppable

she has been hidden from me.
kept from the sight I was praised with from birth.
observant says SHE, but no more.

no more opinion, no more advice
no more me and her or her and me

our rope remained bound; untouched by the devils that stole her.
but they removed my rock... so no longer do I stand.
