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.
