Cracked and chipped behind a wall of stone,
Not quite as solid – only protected by bone,
The light never finds and the shadows shy away,
What was once whole yesterday is no longer today.
The breaks between the blinds mimic my mind,
Filtering only happiness with the shades that trail behind,
They are looming and leering as they creep up my spine,
Delightfully cheering – you have worn out your time.
The harmony that brought me here has bloomed into a war,
I hid behind the doors only to see the blood seep onto the floor,
Forevermore I'm tainted with what we had before,
What's remembered soon becomes forgotten like a grain of sand upon the shore.
The echo that screams: we have only just begun!
Reverberates through my lungs and cracks my heart and skull.
These eyes became lifeless and dull like a distant star,
The rolling winds ceased over the meadows so far.
Trapped inside the cage beneath your chest,
Is locked what we give so easily, we will suffer like the rest,
When it has been abused it can never become new once more,
You wear a façade to hide what's buried deep inside your core.
I've grazed your disapproval more times than I regard,
We have watched the fall from grace when the battle deemed too hard,
However you look right through me as if you're waiting for what's behind,
I would offer you the chance but I wouldn't want to waste your time.
The harmony that brought me here has bloomed into a war,
I hid behind the doors only to see the blood seep onto the floor,
Forevermore I'm tainted with what we had before,
What's remembered soon becomes forgotten like a grain of sand upon the shore.
The rolling winds ceased over the meadows so far,
These eyes became lifeless and dull like a distant star.
It reverberates through my lungs and cracks my heart and skull,
The echo that screams: why didn't you run?
Not quite as solid – only protected by bone,
The light never finds and the shadows shy away,
What was once whole yesterday is no longer today.

Filtering only happiness with the shades that trail behind,
They are looming and leering as they creep up my spine,

This is really beautiful, I feel what you feel through the entire poem c:
"We have watched the fall from grace when the battle deemed too hard" that's my favorite line, it gives this...delicious hopelessness XD
The only thing I would say is that your rhyme scheme confuses me because sometimes the whole verse rhymes, and other times it's only pairs of lines that rhyme. Nonetheless I love this, because it makes the reader feel something.
