Broken


Regret and Anger

tries to take hold.

Pain and Sorrow

leaves me cold.

I feel it deep within,

a storm breaking thru,

trying to take control,

of how I hate you.

A heart you were given

now lays in shatters,

a priceless treasure,

now gone forever.

I cried for you

asking why,

now I know

it was all a lie.

Because behind my back

stood another,

who caught your interest,

and became your lover.

So with everything said,

I walk away,

because a broken promise,

is not worth a replay.
