Echoes of a Broken Heart

Sadness Echoes

By C. D. GuzmanPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In the depths of a prison cell,

A young man's heart, a story to tell.

A life of crime, a path so steep,

A heartbroken soul, a life asleep.

The guys, they're bigger, but I stand tall,

A life of crime, a life for all.

A street family, my only kin,

A life of pain, a life I live in.

But in this cell, I wonder,

Will I ever know a life without thunder?

A life without crime, a life so free,

A life without pain, a life that's me.

A normal life, a dream so sweet,

A life without worry, a life so neat.

But in this cell, my heart is torn,

A life of crime, a life I've worn.

In the echoes of my broken heart,

A life of pain, a life so far apart.

A young man's heart, a life in hell,

A story to tell, a life that fell.

A poem of pain, a tale of woe,

A life of crime, a heart that's low.

In the depths of this prison cell,

A young man's heart, a life to tell.

A life of crime, a path I've known,

A heartbroken soul, a life alone.

But in this cell, I wonder,

Will I ever know a life without thunder?

A life of crime, a life so steep,

A young man's heart, a life asleep.

In the echoes of my broken heart,

A life of pain, a life that's torn apart.
