Broken Dreams


Waiting, Pacing,Resting

Lifeless under the hooded shelter.

Seemingly haunting the tortured 

Soul within you.

Waiting, just waiting for the one person

To pull your life back together.

 

Mangled, Beaten, Severely scarred

Not knowing where to go.

One moment they turn to you, 

The next,

they break you.

 

You believe your in love,

With the person you thought you knew.

But one mistake changes it all.

How to think. How to smile.

How to laugh. How to cry?

Everything.

 

Nothing is the same

Without them beside you.

Your mangled like Ragdoll,

Torn like a piece of paper,

And open like the pieces

Missing from a puzzle.
