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
