Broken

Broken by the deepest sight of shadows That crawl and are sly against the wall Of depths they reach of greater distance Forsaking what was theirs and more For time never stopped the beating of ones heart Nor took away the promise of tomorrow For it was the barren landscape Drawn along ones soul The once used inspiration Lies at the bottom of a chest As the darkness hovers The fate is laid to rest For the soulful eyes never catch the simple morning And the silent heart never breathed in the dawning Upon a pale face lies more than laid Upon a mournful brow Tears ache and banter the pain For there is no recovery of ones self beauty If the shattered reflection remains
