When You’re Broken

   The sky is charcoal grey
The flowers no longer in bloom
The world outside is not for you
You’re better off in your room

The darkness seems to follow you
There’s an endless rain
You can’t fill the emptiness
There’s a constant pain

Even the birds singing their morning song
Seems to bring you more sadness
The depression you feel is overwhelming
Like the universe and its vastness

You’re just a dying star
Your light flickers and fades
Your heart feels as if it were being
Stabbed with a million blades

Someone came into your life
And your love they stole
Now there’s nothing left but to surrender
Yourself to the depths of a Black hole

Questions arise in your mind
Will I ever see the light
Is life worth living or should
I just give up in my fight

If your life was a song, it would be a sad
Tune about a heart turning to stone
The lyrics would be of burning pain
And the Devils grin as he sits on his throne

A bad moon rising and rivers overflowing
Everything in your life is spoiling
It feels no different than nature’s wrath
Of Hurricanes and Tornadoes destroying

The damage is like a disaster, the
Destruction is as far as the eyes can see
Picking up the pieces to start again is
Like trying to organize a scree

Your eyes are dry from crying
There’s no words to be spoken
Your just a soul with a heart of stone
When you’re broken
