Heartbroken

A shattered image in empty room 
Of once a great love that came to doom 
The fading footsteps on the floor 
Echo like banging on the door 

A heart of glass broken in pieces 
Misses the hugs and all the kisses
Like a sound of lonesome lullaby
The song of heart that's left to cry 

Clouds are gray and day is dim 
Sunlight is bright but sky is grim 
As if today has no tomorrow 
Smile is drowned in pain and sorrow 

The puzzled look from an olden glass 
Misses the heart that it really was 
The bright smile on once shiny face 
Is drenched in drowse of sour grimace
