Broken Promises
I laid down here next to my restless heart
And I tossed it in the water
Made my wishes known
I will not suffer for it
To love and be loved
What's left of me, you can have it
Feast until you get your fill
Do you know what I feel?
To be your sustenance while I starved
I'll take my empty plates to the garden and smash them all to pieces
Bury them next to the dreams I had forsaken
Among all the other flowers that refused to grow
