Shattered
His tears carry memories of broken dreams,
His mind tears at the seams,
Only to leave him hanging by mere strands.
He strokes the picture frame surrounding his painful past,
He smashes the glass,
Hoping to destroy the emptiness inside his soul.
Alone again with only his voice to keep him from insanity,
His life is full of calamity,
Forcing his soul to quiver as shattered tears flow from his eyes.
This pain he cannot stand as he starts to lunge,
His heart takes a plunge,
Into a place where he has no control.
