Broken But Not Beaten

Broken spirit,
Cold as ice,
Last chance,
To throw the dice.
Pain beckons,
Lonely heart,
Missing pieces,
From the start.
Hurtful lies,
Numerous fights,
Shattered dreams,
Sleepless nights.
Rivers of tears,
Temper's frayed,
Pure hate,
Forever betrayed.
Scattered shards,
Torn mind,
Hidden love,
Still to find.
