Broken

Tears seeped through his eyes,
As he stood there,
Broken by the lies

He heard within himself,
His heart shatter,
Each shard causing him such pain

His mind,
Lost its grip,
Over the edge, he slipped

He cried,
As he felt lost
And broken by the lies

As the rushing air was stopped,
By the cold, hard ground
And the end came around

He lay there,
Broken
Broken by the lies
