Broken: Part I

Something is broken inside me a piece a part or it’s just me It feels like I live my life without a heart or a heart without a heartbeat lips without a smile eyes without a glare high life but not yet living in a trance like you’re asleep Hiding my pain from the world I smile Strong on the surface, underneath volatile Broken heart with a ripped soul Noise you hear in the loudest whisper The quiet you hear in the loudest lull The pain you feel when you are completely numb The tingling you feel in the sharpest snub The ache in the heart that curves your lips The joy that brings a meltdown The mystery that solves itself And the simplicity that makes you ponder The eyes that are glazed with dryness The tears moist with the void A wandering soul in search of nothing A heart painfully contained A life to live with glorious failures A journey of a few steps in disdain A heart ripped with willful ignorance A broken soul; crumbling in pain
