Broken

Broken



You were always there

You always cared

You did everything you could to help

Its really unexplainable what he felt

He is writing this to you

To say thank you

When everyone was trying to forget him

You were right there with him

Telling him everything will be all right

There is a purpose for your life

When it came down to the end

You were his only friend

The only person he trusted

He loved you he must of

You always knew what he needed

And he is thanking you for all the wonderful things you do

Trying to show you how much he appreciated you

A tear rolls down his face as he takes a knee

He starts to prey

Asking God if he can just go back one day

There is so many things that he wishes he can say

He looks into the sky and then back down

Then he lays a rose on the ground

He turns and runs faster and faster getting madder and madder

Runs by your house and he just passed it

Because all he can see is you’re lifeless body laying in the casket

He is going to the place yall met

A beautiful place over looking the city

Endless thoughts running thought his head why couldn’t it be me

Why couldn’t I be the one to go

He is Screaming no into the sky

Asking God to take him away

He fills that he can’t live this way

Preying to die every single day

He never got to tell you what he wanted to say

And it’s too late

This is to unreal for him this has got to be fake

They say he never did but God has made a mistake

It wasn’t her time

His parents tell him it will be ok it will be fine

She is in a better place she is in heaven

God will take care of her I know she met him

But he can’t hear them

He won’t talk to them or get near them

His own parents are starting to fear him

He is not the same person

He can’t stop hurting

This just is working

His body is covered with scabs and scars

Now he is sitting behind bars

He is so different He has changed

His parents are ashamed

They act as if they never knew his name

His life is consumed by pain

He is going insane

He just wants to die

He cant do it to himself because every since he was eleven

He preyed to her and said he would meet her in heaven

He is no longer in prison

He fills there wasn’t much he was missing

Because you were the one he wanted to hug

You are the girl that he wanted to love

He goes to her grave every single day

He goes to the first place he ever saw her

He still has everything he ever bought her

And he kept anything that he saw that gave him the thought of her

He is broken and he can’t be fixed

His heart was in the blender and it got mixed

There is nothing left for him

Except that one thought of seeing her again

Just the thought of them happy in heaven

He has been waiting since he was eleven
