Broken
In a broken land, sits a broken man
Trying to let go of a dream he had
His eyes forlorn, his thoughts are sad
Hoping some day, they will understand
It all went wrong, and didn’t last long
The fragility took him by surprise
Those times now past, but the memories last
To have loved then lost, passed before his eyes
They’re all gone now, still can’t see how
No voice, chance to reason, just shut down
But think what you’ve got, not what you have not
Learn this life lesson, for the next time round
