Broken

BROKEN

Flying through a world of broken dreams
Broken promises still whispering in ear
Morning screams from broken coffee cup
Broken hopes shattered in my mind

Even nothing is so broken I can see it
Broken heart still beating yet misses a tick
Peeking through a broken useless keyhole 
At a broken comfortable lonely bed 

Drove downtown last night on broken road
Broken smiles greeted me in the bar
Walked home 'cause gas pump was broken
Broken house welcomed me

So here I sit a broken man
Broken memories I can't fix
Wishing for something better than broken
Broken everything all around
