Broken

I am a broken child lying sprawled out on the floor
The words I verbalized left me void of something more
And with my black eyes I'll search for beauty in this war
I won't cry, not anymore

I am a battered rose thrown against the garden wall
With petals black and torn I thought that you would break my fall
And in this dark light I'll wait for you to hear my call
Please don't cry, don't cry at all

I am a shattered dream far too gone to even care
The pain I felt inside is more than I can stand to bear
And in this cold light my empty eyes can only stare
I won't try, I'll never dare
