Hi all!
I wrote this a while back. Let me know what you think of it.

Broken


Life they say, is full of twists and turns
Every day there is a new lesson to be learned
The heart is fragile, without care it breaks
And carries the scars of all your past mistakes

You can drown in the sorrows of your broken dreams
A smile on the outside, while inside your heart screams
Crying out with anger, with pain and despair
Hoping against hope you'll learn not to care

Promises broken, so many tears shed
You need to move on but can't shake these thoughts from your head
Taking each day as if there was no tomorrow
Trying to cope with all the pain and the sorrow

The feat of holding on, or of even letting go
Finding a way to hide, not letting the emotions show
The lies lying open like a wound that won't heal
As you struggle not to think or even to feel

Wanting to know more, just a glimmer of hope
But when faced with the truth finding it harder to cope
Listening, watching as the trust slips away
Knowing that each moment takes you further away

Broken down, used, forgotten and discarded
Left out in the cold, tearful and broken hearted
Promises made and also believed
Wondering how you could ever have been so easily deceived

All the joy and the laughter, all the love and the lust
Are now just replaced with fear and mistrust
Doubting every word that was uttered or spoken
In the end all that's left, is a love that's been broken
