Shattered Pieces of a Broken Me

by JeBeGood   May 23, 2005


My eyes are bleeding
Tears of pain fall down
I listen to the sky as the rain starts to pound

My face is lifeless
So far away
My hands are shaking
I don’t know the date

What happened to me?
Why can’t I sleep?
My palm touches the window and I start to weep

I need a way out
My heart beats slow
I look around me but there’s no where to go

My sunken eyes
My blank stare
My body’s ravaged from this wear and tear

I sit on the floor
Put my knees to my chest
My mind is spinning
I just need to rest

My mouth is dry
My eyes are red
Taking all my strength just to get out of bed

My mind is bruised
My body’s tore
Looking at the damage
I can’t take much more

Why is the air so heavy?
Why am I in this alone?
The dead eyes I see are not my own

When did life consume me?
How did I fall so fast?
I’m looking in the mirror
My hands are breaking the glass
Leaving only shattered pieces of a broken me
Scattered on the floor for the world to see

    there are like no words to describe how much i can relate to this. again your writting just brings to life the situation and the feeling and maybe its just because i have been there i can feel it so much but just your words can take me back to those days

    Great rhythm, great choice of words...If you brushed it up a little, it would be GREAT...lol...Not that's not really really good already, but I think you know what I mean.
