Shattered

My future behind, and my past in front

The razor is sharp but my mind is blunt

Caught up in the tragedy of my deceit

I know I will forever be incomplete

Rotting away from the pain inside

There's no one who sees the tears I hide

Walking further away, my spirit is broken

You won't cry for me; my feelings stay unspoken

Once I was loved; life was a warm day

Now I sit alone; the damage I survey

What's next for me, I am not sure

But there is only so much I can endure

There are many more that feel this way

And no one listens as we try to convey

The anguish in our lives

Doesn't it matter if we don't survive?

As the days pass I slowly grow colder

The fire in my soul whittles down to a smolder

Bruised, bloody, beaten into the sand

No one can love a broken man

Gone is my reason for living and joy

Congratulations, another life you've destroyed
