shattered fragments
i seem to not sleep much anymore
the precious flame in me you'd feed,
now feeds off the sleepless nights we'd share together
the songs our minds tuned in sync with,
the laughter our voices shared across the world we created,
the love beating from my troubled heart,
the love i couldn't feel beat from yours
now you're a shattered fragment
a fragment i can no longer feel.
the fragments of my past come to strike me yet,
you're the brightest piece aiming towards my heart.

I think...
The first line seems rather awkward and I would rearrange it.
"It seems that I don't sleep much anymore"
Try: a fragment I [can] no longer feel
[Pieces] of my past...
Other than that, nice job, it lets me feel the pain
you are trying to show. Glad to see you back! ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
