Broken

Broken bottle 
Blood stained sheet
Empty promises 
Whenever we meet
Love is just
A four letter word 
Tears flowing 
You haven’t heard
My cries for you
Your empty heart
People don’t change 
Same from the start
And hear I lay
So sad and grim
Lord have mercy 
It is because of him
Serendipity is so 
Far from here
Prayers don’t help
Why should I care 
Run and hide
From this blackened heart
People don’t change
Same from the start
