Broken

Imaganary Pool of Sadness

A boy is loved
Unknowingly
And the girl who loves him
Is pretending that she is happy, but,
She’s eternally drowned in her own
Sorrow

Some Things Can't Be Fixed

I have a stain
When I used a sharpie to scribble out our initails
I have a stain
On my lips where yours rested
I have a stain
On my cheek where the tears always fell
I have a scar on my heart
Right.
Where.
You.
Broke.
It.

Broken

I am

Better off Dead
Ripped apart
Often alone
Killed by reject
Even gone from the world
Naughty not nice

I am Broken

Broken

I want to hold you
I'm a wreak without you
I'm broken
I need yuo to be here
To return my love
But you're gone
I can feel your absence
The void in my heart
I'm about to explode
I'm broken
I want you back

Broken Relationship

You don't know me
You never tried
You simply used me
Another toy
In your eyes
Complerely worthless
But I fell for
Your illusuons of
eternal happiness
"Till death do us part"
That was our vow
But you didn't
Love me at all
So now the vow
Will come true
When your death
Splits us apart

A Sad Song

I sing a song at night has I cry myself to sleep
The tears that I cried were cold on my face
As I lay down on my bed wondering if he still remembers me
All that I could remember was I in his arms
Holding on and never letting go
I would give anything just to spend one more day with you
That’s all I need is for you to be with me…
Has I go to seep I cry no more
