Broke Me Down
Broke me down so badly
That I shatter inside,
Until on my knees I fall.
Hurt by the name you called,
Constantly bullying me.
My pain I wear like
A patchwork quilt,
I sure you saw me in this color,
They are my tears,
Each drop connecting
With another painful memory.
I'm lost, confused, alone.
Maddening silence around me,
A darkness, a fading memory,
It's suffocating, draining my heart.
Hurt me once again.
My achievement swept away,
Everything I believed
Is not here today.
The sun has set and
Never more to shine.
The clock on this wall stands still.
I no longer have the will to fight
Whether I live, or die matters less.
