Broken

I'm an angel that has fallen
Into a pit of dark 
I have both wings broken
And no one around to hark

I am a white dove 
That has been colored red 
Thrown paralyzed on the ground of 
This world and pronounced dead

I am the lightbulb that burned out 
No one would ever use 
I would be thrown out and about 
And would be broken and abused 

I'm a little baby 
That has been taken out before time
Dead before being born or ready
Didn't get to hear my first nursery rhyme
