Broken

She's warm to the touch
inside ice.

He broke her heart;
she'll pay the price.

She can't move on
she loves him still.

She tries to hide the pain 
by popping pills.

Depend on drugs;
looking for a fix.

See the scars on her arms 
and her wrist.

She's a cutter; 
blood covered razor

Ask her why?
She'll say he made her.
