Broken

A broken heart and broken dreams,
A love forever lost,
Hearts once true but never again,
Love has a heavy cost.

Broken heart from broken promises,
Bitter tears are shed.
A knife I need, a knife I use,
Until my blood is bled.

The stars are sparkling brightly,
As I perform this task.
I think ‘bout mem‘ries, lost and gained,
Some love was all I’d asked.

My heart is cold and empty,
As I look up at the sky.
I clutch the blade without a sound,
And say my last good bye.

I rest my head upon the ground,
As pain now leaves my heart.
I take my last and final breath,
And from this world I part.
