Broken

“What ever happened to the young man's heart?
It was swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart,
He acted like things didn’t phase him…
But his insecurities ate him alive.”

The priceless gift that was given, was taken just as fast,
Trusted hearts were let in and cherished
But they quickly turned into the thing he feared most,
All he has left are the painful and vivid memories.

He sat there swimming in his thoughts for hours
As he drown in his tears every night,
Once trusted hearts were no longer welcomed into his life…
Just a broken mirror and a long, dull knife.

Cracked reflections were the only view of himself that he had
And the knife was the only thing he could feel,
All the time he spent telling himself that he’s okay
Was a waste of his breathe, this was all too real.

Quickly his whole world caved in around him
And the ground he thought was solid cracked beneath his feet,
All of this pain tore him apart and broke his mind…
Then when the day came around he wasn’t here to cry anymore.

“Whatever happened to this young mans smile?
It just disappeared for a very short while,
He stood up and said that this wasn’t right
And with one small smirk he ended the fight.”
