Broken
A wounded heart cried, filled its lonely glass
Held and felt with anguished hands of sorrow
To pray memories fade as tears trespass
Through years and time her love had to borrow
I try to remember where love went wrong
Only fragmented pictures from the day
She disappeared as her shadow grew long
A marbled world turned quietly to clay
Cataclysm within covering dreams
With nothing to recognize or to save
My eyes counted tears with thinning long streams
and scattered monuments of yesterday
I felt a breath shared with a pain that's kept
and found a heart wounded as its eyes wept
