Broken: Broken

I lay here-

Shattered-

My broken life in pieces

All around me.

I can’t seem

To pull myself together.

  

So I ask you

To tell me-

Is this what you want?

Is this what you need?

Do you like it when

My soul starts to bleed?

How can I escape

From this fantasy?

  

I just can’t…

  

I just can’t do this anymore.

This blind addiction goes too far.

It takes much more than I can give-

These memories that want to live.

  

I just can’t do this to myself,

And put my heart up on a shelf.

I’m lying broken on the floor,

While my heart is sick and sore.

  

You sit there-

Smiling-

Just like it never happened.

But I’m aching

And dying

Just to reach out to you.

  

So I ask you

To tell me-

How can I escape?

How can I be free?

How do you get by,

While I’m stuck inside-

Lost in my own thoughts

Where I can not hide?

  

I just can’t…

  

I just can’t do this anymore.

This blind addiction goes too far.

It takes much more than I can give-

These memories that want to live.

  

I just can’t do this to myself-

And put my heart up on a shelf.

I’m lying broken on the floor

And my heart is sick and sore.

  

So tell me

Who I should be…
