BROKEN DOWN ANGELS

It disny seem that long ago
Toddling and having fun,
Crawling then walking along the floor 
And learning how tae run.

Potty trained and full eh life
They’d run you af yer feet,
A kiss on the cheek and I love you
Wid make ye want tae greet.

The greatest time you will ever have
Is bringing up yer ain,
You share

Premium MemberThe Church's Wall And Gates Are Broken Down - Nehemiah 1: 11

Considering the church's present plight
the evils of sin have breached the walls
just as it was in Nehemiah's days
we need to learn from Jerusalem's fall

We must see the need of the hour
prayer needs to be our first priority
as Nehemiah mourned for many days
crying to God our supreme authority

The Lord is the great and awesome God
keeping steadfast

Premium MemberBroken Down Ride

Broken hearts long to heal
To once again feel
And live once more
To soar
For that blood to roar
To feel wanted
Not haunted 
Never feel alone
As love is grown
Sown
Love emotions 
awoken
To hear words of love spoken
Someone near
Whispering loving words in my ear
To ease my fear
When strength is hard to come by
Hold me when I cry
Help me to reach the

Broken Down 



The black windows have broken down 
and the walls have collapsed 
and the broken down windows are tainted glass 
and the mirrors are shattered 
broken down, stained and covered in rust and dust 
In it were photographs taken by the sky’s flash 
With lanterns and sunflowers attached to the sun in the clouds

Two Old Red Tractors, Both Are Broken Down

Two old red tractors, both are broken down
on a small dusty farm, outskirts of town.
Dawn comes early, no time to sleep in bed
rooster crows call out, work, work, work instead!

Dad rose early, I hear a tractor start
shows me his ethics, I must take to heart.
I rise to eat,

Broken Down

I've lived on the streets,
With no where to go,
I've eaten from trash cans,
Because I didn't have a home,

I've been depressed,
And tried over dosing,
But I see the purpose of my life,
Here on this earth,

I've been abused,
Mentally and physically,
My heads still high,
Trying to forgive and forget,

Been in the cold,
And little to no help,
Had given up custody,
Of my

Premium MemberBroken Down Alone In a Desert

The sun had vanished, it was black as black,
The air was crisper than ice.
And the wire on the fence whispered a steady humming tune
To hundreds of kangaroo mice.

We’d broken down, in the middle of Australia, 
We were alone, my partner and I.
At first it was serene, just sharing a wine, 
Under billions of stars in

"Broken Down"


tears falling

that i have held back

for many many years

they're falling because of you

you didn't do it 

purposefully,

of course not, 

you didn't even know 

you held the gun.

you just pulled the trigger

and the bullet hit 

my heart.

Broken Down

Broken down in tiny pieces
love's not really much at all
just a snowflake in December
you remember watching fall.

Broken down in tiny pieces
it can make your teardrops flow
from the pain of losing someone
you never thought would go.

Broken down in tiny pieces
love can rip your world apart
leave you shaking, weak and speechless
with an empty, aching heart.

Broken Down Apple

The apple of my eye is out of reach,
but the scent of his hair still lingers,
managing only sporadic gasps,
curly and thick,
running my fingers through and through,
just like it was yesterday.

Some nights wake me,
dead in my sleep.
Seeing you with her,
is hurtful,
yet I feel hopeless,
hopelessly in love.

The apple of my eye is out of reach,
yet a hug

Broken Down Fairytale

I can't believe I would have give it all up for you
What was I thinking

Walk off into the sunset and leave it all behind for you?
It must have been the drinking

Every time I see their faces I would have to wonder
Was it all worth it?

See them less for you, are you a good mother?

I know

Broken Down

I bore it all with a smile
Not a flex of muscle
Betrayed my expression
Not a word said
Displayed my inner feelings
How insensitive you seemed
To me.

I bore it all with a straight face 
Not letting you know a thing
Maintaining my composure
As always
But inside me i crumbled
Crumbled like a pack of cards.

I bore it all as if nothing was

Old, Broken Down and Delapidated

Old, Broken Down and Delapidated are words some men use to describe
women of a certain age, because they have matured and wondered away from the 
naive stage, they have reached a place where they are comfortable with 
themselves and don't need to have the flattery of deceptive elves,
The days of bubble gum and bobby socks

Premium MemberBroken Down Heart

I was never out to get your silver or your gold..
All I wanted with you, was "to have and to hold."
 
Love is not callous, but, tender, gentle and kind..
You didn't want to listen or heed the warning signs.
 
Our Love was only meant, between the confines of us..
Not shared with others, and the world's

Broken Down

A lifeless body laid face down
on the back alley wet sidewalk.
This time of night no ones around
especially now at three o’clock.
I’m here because my carbroke down
Otherwise I wouldn’t be found dead
in this place. I hail from uptown.
Here, downtown, murder is widespread
Someone is always getting killed:
Prostitutes, druggies and the like
Thinking about it gives me chills.
Man! I
