Broken
looking around,
broken glass,
for a broken heart,
torn clothes,
for torn emotions,
confused colors,
for confused minds,
while she sits and cries,
mourning a loss that wasn't really there,
a love that never was,
a masked reality,
painful,sorrowful,
tearful, maddening,
broken people,
and a broken house,
broken children,
and then it's gone,
they're all gone,
and you're all alone.
