Broken

The sun shone above as the darkness came

And her warmth turned to bitter cold

The graves loomed large where the corpses lie

In the earth so dank and old

She walked condemned to beat of her heart,

To the thud of her life deep inside

Head hung low with a tear in her eye

As the warmth in her chest slowly died

And there she remained in the core of the dead

Amongst all the morbid decay

To place a red rose with an ache in her soul

At the thought it would just fade away

Where beauty had flourished aging remains

Seeped through the ground where she stood �

To sever her thoughts in a deep cutting pain

Tracing fingers of ice through her blood

Soldiers of marble, granite and stone,

Stood proud from their army of weeds

Markers of death each a story to tell

Of the heartache and hurt they proceed

Right there in the graveyard her life fell apart

Left a cold hardened stone in her heart

Lost in the shadows of old faded graves

Where it tore all her goodness apart

The rage of the beast as it ripped at her throat

And clawed at her weak ruptured soul

Severed her will as her fight ebbed away

And the darkness of death took control

Spirit destroyed, her strength almost crushed

She knelt on the damp waiting ground

As a single tear fell, her whole heart split in two

And she sobbed without making a sound
