In the Valley of the Broken

In the valley of broken dreams Of lugubrious light and banished beams In the valley of broken hearts Of pendulous pain and petrified parts In the valley of broken smiles Of secluded self and tormented trials In the valley of broken eyes Of shattered sight and swallowed skies In the valley of broken souls Of surrendered spirit and hypnotic holes In the valley of broken loves Of serpentine silence and scornful shoves.

My fav: "In the valley of broken smiles/ Of secluded self and tormented trials It'll take more than band aids to fix all these broken things, but if anyone can it's you, my warrior friend.
