Broken

BROKEN
Scratching at my face I bleed, needing to see a god at last.
Then you show up at my feet, a pain best left in my past.

Better hold inside your tears, I just don’t feel it anymore.
You filled my head with fears, but I don’t care anymore.

‘cause I’m broken, yes I’m broken…. now I’m broken because of you.

I’m broken, now I’m broken…. yes I’m broken because I loved you.

Your letters simplify the day, the day you disappeared.
Now my aura is fading away, it’s all I’ve ever feared.

I feel my time is limited now, I’m screaming in my sleep.
I want and hate you all the time; my cuts are getting deep.

I’m broken, now I’m broken…. yes I’m broken because I loved you.

I stand before you lost and sad, wanting more than I can have.
Wishes false until the end, the goal for me is staying alive.

Mock me if you feel the need, knock me to the ground.
Now you kick me in the teeth, laughing loud at torture’s sound.

I’m broken, now I’m broken…. yes I’m broken because I loved you.

I’m broken-----yes you broke me, you failed me in every way.
Yes I’m broken, because I loved you, I have too much left to say.

BUT FOR NOW!

I’m Broken----yes I’m broken, I’m broken-----because of you.

Yes I’m broken----completely broken, I’m broken because…of…you.
