Broken

There I lay My angel wings Lifeless My once beating Heart Broken Pounding I am broken Yet soundless To my murdered You There I lay My soul Bound to earth Homeless The lights turned out into darkness Shouting find the light A candle? I’m broken in darkness Find the light If any, a candle?

Quite pathetic and full of despair. But asking for a light is the sign of the positive side of your poem and shows your longings for hope. In my view the word “murderer’ is too harsh to depict the sadness of your heart and love, when you are composing a good poem May be I am wrong Thanks for a lovely poem, Best wishes and love Ravindra
