Broken Down

by Lisa D Larson   May 19, 2005


There has been this scar for eight long years
But tonight the memory opens it up like a fresh wound
Remembering the pain of an abandoned heart
Making it pulse with every rapid beat of my heart
Every moment lingers now in empty misery
The pain feels so real my eyes start to well
I can’t stop the misery that consumes me
It beats me down and leaves me lying broken
So weak now I can’t fight the falling tears
I bow my head in shame from all the weakness
I can’t fight back my defenses are useless
The thought of you is more than I can take
I no longer find comfort in my simple solitude
A broken heart is all that remains
All the time in the world couldn't mend me now.
