Bruised

I'm broken,
I'm shattered,
But I grin and bare,
With every step,
Another faltered line,
A simple waste of time,
A framed picture,
A heart set still,
The battle for life,
Now fought alone.

Now I'm trying,
To live for the future,
But I'm stuck hiding,
Hiding from my past,
I've been haunted,
By all my tragic memories,
thoughts have brought me down on my knees,
Begging for a release.

I'll be sure to never make a promise,
Because promises can't be kept,
I've lost sight of my dreams,
Because I can't see,
These tears are covering,
The eyes that betrayed me,
I've gone numb,
Because you were everything,
Everything to me.
