Broken

Spirit gone, emptiness now fills me and has transformed me into a man of less desire

No more happiness to remember, for the times that once were are no longer wanted

I cry you see, I wander alone in life holding my own hands to secure my heart in place

Don’t need to know what I need to find, no need for somber nights for sleep eludes me



To close my eyes is to cause true heart ache, memories drown my mind and kill my soul

To look back and see where I was, to watch my stories unfold into the chaos they are

I wont be looking back no more, I wont be trying to live no more, for death is what I seek

To walk among the living is the cause of all fears derived within my tortured soul



They say have faith, be patient for all comes to those who wait; but I no longer want it

God is the one who created us, made us to be who we are but I choose to not follow

My path is not of truth or happiness, mine is that of forgetting and not caring

My spirit has been destroyed and I have no faith to follow or to seek, I am broken



So much hate now enters me, makes reign upon my life as I am saddened by my choices

No one cares for those they have neglected, we are no longer needed or loved

In time I will forget the flowers smelled and cared for, life will continue and I will remain

Walking to a path that is to take me to my end, to gather my thoughts and make me whole



Turn please, don’t look at me do not see who I have become and remember me as I was

Allow me to remain a man of dignity and truth in your memories, love me then

There was a time you cared for me and gave me your love, see me when you loved me

Tears may fall from your eyes as you look at our past, tears now fall as I see my future



Beside the river of death do I stride my life away, a man no more but a child lost alone

God has given me chances but I walk away to face the world, hurting inside as I cry

I shed the tears left inside my broken heart, for my soul is no longer my own

It has been taken from me and broken shall a spirit wander with no wings to fly home
