Broken

So many battered and broken

so many words left unspoken

so many heartbroken

Left so many shattered pieces

on the ground, every step we take

getting cut on broken glass

wishing things would last

but we must learn to let go of the past

So many bruised and broken

so many words left unspoken

so many heartbroken

Left so many shattered pieces

you see your reflection, broken

in the glass, longing for things to last

canโ€™t help but grasp that you must learn

to let go of the past

Battered and broken, words left unspoken, heartbroken

Thought you could not move on

saw an angel in the reflection of the broken glass

you felt the wings growing

and found the strength to carry on

realize the battle is done, the war is won

So many battered and broken

so many words left unspoken

so many heartbroken

So many shattered pieces

left on the ground, every step we take

getting cut on broken glass

wishing things would last

but we must learn

to let go of that broken past

heartbreak
